Put it on my dodo list!

I’m convinced a former colleague had a dodo list. Tasks would get added to his ‘To Do’ list, and if they were able to languish long enough they would eventually become extinct. You could say it was an effective way of managing one’s commitments. It now seems a wholly appropriate tactic — the person in question was a senior executive, and if there is one skill they need to survive at that altitude it’s selective involvement.
