A simple three to five task overview that lets you identify and visualize a group of tasks in one place for good SEO.

an organizational tool that can be used for planning with agenda, post-it notes, email, instant messaging, SMS and other electronic strategic communication services, etc.

It is also a Not to do list, which is the list of things not to do during the day (weird isn't it?). It might not be the right time to do some chores so you put the chores in don'ts, let alone forget. The advantage is that it allows you to concentrate on an activity if you are busy.
