I used to feel like I needed to keep one perfectly streamlined to-do list, but these lists are there to work for you, not the other way around!
Clear is a beautiful for simple lists: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/clear-to-dos-reminders/id493136154
Google Keep is great for more complicated lists: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/google-keep-notes-and-lists/id1029207872
Bear is perfect for short- or long-form writing. It's like if the Notes app didn't suck. Formatting and organizing is intuitive and easy: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bear-markdown-notes/id1016366447
I also use Apple's Reminders and physical notes as well. I never forget anything.

At a certain age, a good percentage of your self-worth comes from finishing stuff. I know we’re supposed to stop being hard on ourselves, but that’s sort of unrealistic, so might as well be efficient. Using iPhone Notes is ok for drafting stuff, but not as a to-do list. For paper lists I use the Action Method notebooks that Ghostly distributes. I have very very bad handwriting though so I've probably used 10 different apps over the years. I’ve found that I don’t really need features and folders. So this is dumb simple, and something about the action and sounds it makes it fun to add to. BUT, buyer beware, this app seems to be phased out by the developer, so play at your own risk.

Comes standard on any iPhone and if you are a compulsive list maker (like me), it’s so much better than the notes app. You can color code and categorize and drag and drop to reorder, attach links to items, include pictures…I can find anything in any one of my 100 lists 🩵

This is a great website for finding junior hairstylists or hair salons who need models in exchange for a small fee. Only good in big cities. Picture of Dolly for luck.
