Idk, to me to-do lists are things I use to externalize the 10 different thoughts bouncing around in my head, which quiets it down for a bit and allows me to think about the most important one(usually the first one on the list that inspired the list). Makes me feel good the other things are documented and lets me forget about it for a moment.
Everyone is different and has a different strategy that works for them.๐คทโโ๏ธ
Personally, I'd make the Todo list, put it down somewhere unconventional, and then forget where it's at or even forget it existed in the first place.
Yeah, once I accepted I don't actually need to return to the to-do list and accepted they're more "externalize the noise" lists, they became helpful. before that not so much.
