If you find yourself writing the same to-do lists over and over again, here's a quick technology tip that might help.
Have you tried Workflowy yet? It's a easy, fun (and free!) way to manage to-do lists or outlines online via your laptop or on your phone or tablet. It's really easy to use and becomes quite addictive to add things to your lists and move stuff around. There's also the very satisfying feeling of crossing things out once they've been completed!
You can see some screenshots of it and a bit more detail on my blog:
