The thing is, what if you're learning something particularly complex? How do you go about documenting what you need to do, because a simple list like that wouldn't seem to suffice?
Maybe my issue is how I go about documentation, as opposed to lists.
It might also just be that I don't know how to make a list not end up being an obligation. Aren't they obligations by definition, a thing you need to do?

If I have next steps for upcoming days, I'll make note of that so I have it recorded. But every day I'll decide what I'm going to tackle, that way there is no obligation from the past lists. I will refer back to them to see what I wanted my current self to do. I might not agree with my past self on what is important.
