I love reading how other people create their todo lists. So thanks for this! :)

It seems almost impossible to be a well functioning adult without a todo list nowadays, but you are so right that the devil is in the details. And different things work for different people. But you touched on so many important points (like task writing!).

I created a super flexible todo app a while back because of my own struggles. It’s all about making a daily plan and making it fun and exciting to work the tasks off so it might be right up your alley -> www.amazingmarvin.com

PS: We are always adding new features and some that are coming up let you put a daily intention/goal at the top of your list, just like you described. :)
