I had a similar problem to yours where I would eventually forget to use the application, or just not remember to check it after finishing my current task. That lead to some fun times. My solution; at least for my work todo list, was to create a Python script and use it with the $PERIODIC callback feature of ZSH to show me my task list every 15 minutes in my shell. Since I'm working in a terminal all day long anyway, this in my face approach helped me create a habit of using my todo list (TaskWarrior) for managing my work tasks. Though I'm still in search of something that helps in the same way for my personal life; phone and personal computer. P.S: For the interested in how I implement the periodic call back with TaskWarrior, you can find the relevant files on my Github dotfile (https://github.com/theonejb/dotfiles/tree/master/taskwarrior https://github.com/theonejb/dotfiles/tree/master/taskwarrior)
