I have simple text file for To do list. When I have executed next in turn task - should I delete it right now?

The idea is to get things *out* of your head and into a trusted system -- 99% of the time I know what the next action is off the top of my head, sure, but if it's written down (or otherwise captured) then I never have to rely on my memory.

The danger there lies in following a next step that's several days out-of-date. I'd rather write down the best Next Action as of my *current* progress on the Project, not what I thought on Sunday that it would be today.
