I use a whiteboard next to my computer. (I'm a stay-at-home dad.) I only use it to track irregular tasks. I don't write "make dinner" or "get dressed" or other day-to-day stuff. I just do those things day after day. The stuff that goes on my whiteboard is stuff like "ankle surgery", "rollover retirement account into IRA", or "sort and mail Alex's stuff". I always write a due date alongside any new entry. My list never gets longer than 6-7 items. When it gets close to that level, I pick a task to complete early just to keep my list size down.
