To-do lists should be made to a set timeframe. That is, you should put as much on it as you can finish in the time allowed. A monthlong to-do has more items than an afternoon. You will inevitably need practice to figure out what times out well. That’s okay! It’s like learning a complex dance move making the right to-do.

I feel like I should put EVERY SINGLE THING. It helps me feel better checking off minuscule tasks due to my crippling anxiety

As many things as you want, although it is important to note not to put to many things on there, as you don’t want to overwhelm yourself with unrealistic views of what you can fit into a day

I often put too much on the list, and end up biting off more than I can chew, and inevitably becoming inert with the level of demands I have listed for myself. I’m learning to prioritise and make my lists shorter and more manageable.
