Confusing number sequences

The task number sequencing gets a bit confusing. One morning I'll get an email with a todo and the task will be #1, and the next morning I'll get a completely different todo and that number will be #1 too. If I tell Sandy to "update #1," which one am I actually updating? Perhaps numbers shouldn't be reused?
