Variations of the To Do List

Sometimes I try too hard to be organized.  I enjoy making lists so much that I never get around to doing many of the items on the list. I don't really like the name "To Do" for a list. If you put a hyphen to connect the words it becomes a "To-Do" list.  A "to-do is a commotion, fuss, or quarrel."  Even though to do lists often cause commotions, fusses and quarrels it's not what they're supposed to do . A "task list" is not any better.    Here are some definitions for the word "task". 1. a specific piece of work required to be done as a duty or chore 2. an unpleasant or difficult job or duty 3. a difficult or tedious undertaking. An agenda is even more useless and confusing.  Here are some definitions: 1. things to be done or a list of those things. 2. (functioning as singular) Also called agendum a schedule or list of items to be attended to. 3. (functioning as plural) Also called agendas agendums matters
