Lol, your comment about making the lists and then forgetting and remaking them and maybe remembering about a goal a year later - that is me I also like spreadsheets but even then, I have multiple spreadsheets for the same thing because I forget I already made one.

For my paper to-do lists, I *like* making a new one each time and crumpling up the old one whether the tasks are all complete or not. Writing the list is a sort of calming technique that stops me from worrying about the five hundred things I want to do. I write them down, empty my head, and just pick one to work on.
