I was going to offer a solution involving starred tasks, some of them
repeating. But then I noticed that the OP was going on ten years old.

On days when my ADD gets really bad (like any day ending in Y), I start
having to make hyper-detailed lists to get anything done, or else even
the "obvious" things end up taking too much brain power. So if my MLO
task list is something like:
1. Fix Outlook address book
2. Research voice recorders
3. Call Jim
I may end up with a "quick list" that's a lot more like:
1. Shower
2. Take out trash on way to Starbucks
3. Give cat his insulin shot
4. Yogurt @ Starbucks
5. Researh voice recorders while eating
6a. replace toothbrush head
6b. brush teeth
7. wipe counter
8. Fix outlook address book
9. Call Jim (if after 9am)
It seems ridiculous, but sometimes it's the only thing that works;
otherwise, I end up like the monkey who can't let go of the coconut
because he's hungry, but can't get his hand out of the trap because
he's
holding a coconut... I swear, last week I stood halfway between the
dishwasher and the trash can with a fork and a paper cup, and I
couldn't
figure out which to put away first because they were equidistant and
they both needed two hands.
The trouble is that I haven't found a way to do these quickie lists in
MLO that feels natural; I certainly don't want to enter, categorize and
prioritize tooth-brushing every day. So I end up opening a Notepad
window. And that, of course, is the kiss of death, because then I've
got two to-do lists - and guess where new entries start collecting.
Any thoughts?
