I agree 100%, it's hard to keep this kind of thing up

  For me, it is the opposite: I can't work without writing down todos in org-mode. Granularity may vary: I start from 2-4 todos per day and write down anything that I can't do write now (2+min tasks) throughout the day (org-capture). If the work is smooth, several hours may pass on a single TODO heading, if I'm stuck, I can drop to individual "- [ ]" list items, to mark the progress. It helps with extending working memory and having the immediate feedback helps with executive function. No-thought generous fibonacci effort estimations help detect if some tasks take too long (emacs nags in mode-line) and I need to regroup e.g., split the current todo into sub tasks. The changelog is generated automatically (from the org-clock-in tasks) by Emacs (org-agenda).

    I feel like I have the worst of both worlds. I can’t work effectively without a todo list, but I have extreme trouble keeping with the habit.
