I admire this solution for it's full-on tilt towards simplifying life (which may be part of what Atwood was aiming for in the original post). Being a sysadmin and programmer (esp. embedded), though, I'm always of the mind of "just reliably log as much data as possible and sort it out later; disk space is cheap; lost information is not." I would also contend, if you have an issue with writing something down and then archiving it out of your todo list, is that a problem with the system, or you? In any case, yes, logging everything may be too much for some people. Me, I don't like to lose data, even if I ignore it :)
