I do make separate lists. I have a list journal where I keep a running "to-do" list updated on the last few pages. My daily lists start at the beginning and I use a page for each day. I divide tasks up between Urgent and Important, Not Urgent but Important, Urgent but not important, and Not Urgent and Not Important. Then I put the tasks in the first two categories on my daily list. I have recently incorporated the gamifying strategy and I keep track of my points in the journal too. I think it is encouraging me to do more.
Simplifying decisions that you face everyday, like what outfit to wear, daily routine, will decrease the mental drain on making decisions and it's something Matt D'avella talks about. The more simple you keep things, the more mental capacity you will have for your important work. Checklists work great cause you don't have to work your brain to try to remember what it is that you have to do that day or week or month.
