John Randall was a CEO, started several companies and is a published author. He studied the historyof management technique development and developed some new ideas. The idea of a “daily list” was a recent invention,only a hundred years ago. Today we takefor granted the idea of a to do list. Office programs like Microsoft Outlook havea task list function built in.

One benefit of transferring tasks to a to do list is that itunclutters the mind. We are all worriers and cluttering our mind with all the endless tasks, crisis and problems in ourlives can result in gridlock, confusion or working on low priority tasks.

John Randall developed a more sophisticated list system he calls the MasterMinder. First and foremost a list helps us remember what to do. The MasterMinder goes another step and helps us sort out priorities.
