Just helps me visualize more what I need to do, what the priorities are for the day, etc. I could do them monthly, weekly and daily depending on how overwhelmed and/or busy I am.

i need structure to survive and it helps to add things to my calendar, because in my brain it's like i've "signed up" to do something for a certain amount of time. whether its a hobby, workout, researching a project, an errand etc it goes in my calendar or to-do list.
even if i already did x thing that day, i put it on the list just to cross it off which feels nice :-)
it helps me not gaslight myself into thinking i didn't do anything because i can look at the list!

To-do lists because they make you feel like you did the most efficient thing with your time, you knock out things that you needed to do anyway. Time tracking to make sure you're making the most out of your time. At some point, I was insanely tracking my days by 15-minute intervals, it keeps you on your toes but also made me feel bad if I spent some time daydreaming.
But honestly, and this might be because I have many responsibilities and am a busy person, having nothing on my schedule but still choosing to go outside and see what random adventure life takes me on is my favorite thing to do on a free day. Yes Man Style.

I've tried using todo lists (physical and apps) but, as soon as they're not in front of my face, I forget about them. Lately I've been putting Everything in my calendar app. I have a widget on my phone home screen that tells me what's next so I always see it and regularly tap it to see what's on the day and the rest of the week.
It's not just appointments. I'm also putting tasks and reminders on there which are typically "todo" list things. Centralized, just a glance away.
It's also becoming an aid for journaling? I'm putting in shit just to remind myself what I've done socially and privately throughout the week.
