I have found the the secret to a Todo list is to create the habit to keep it up to date and actually use it to prioritize your time. The list tool itself is much less important.
exactly. i, too, have tried many of the pieces of software mentioned and my problem is one of executive function, not of tools lacking some quality. currently i'm settled on apple reminders (so i can say "siri, remind me to do x tomorrow at 11am) and then a physical notebook to actually schedule and write checkboxes
