I've just got a tiny notebook currently with one task per page in big marker, for all those random one-off things to do. Just flip it to the task that needs to get done, and nothing else in sight.

How do you decide which task to do next? (Do you have to look at many tasks, and load enough of each task context into your brain to decide whether to do that one?)
