How do you make good lists?

I find it very difficult to get things done!
I keep lots of lists which often get forgotten.
I'm good at making daily lists and getting urgent jobs done but often forget important tasks such as getting new blinds sorted for the house. This involves multiple steps such as getting samples, measuring up and then ordering.
Should a create a master list and work from that?
I have ADHD, so that probably doesn't help!
Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

I break it down into days or sometimes days /
weeks / months.
Bitesize chunks is better than one massive list and more likely to get things done .

Thanks cupcake. That's a good idea.
I suppose I get so distracted by day to day stuff that I forgot about the other lists!

I do similar to cupcake.
I'll do a list of things for the next couple of months, then take things from that, spread over several weeks. So it's more manageable and I don't get overwhelmed.
