The best time to make a daily to do list is either the night before, or first thing in the morning. The biggest benefit of a well organized to do list is the peace of mind that comes with having a plan in place. Going to bed with a plan for the next day in place can lead to better sleep. Making a list first thing in the morning will give you a plan for a successful day.
It's important to keep your to do list manageable. An impossible task list can increase feelings of stress. It is often recommended to keep to do lists to 3 items maximum. If you need to have more than 3 items, try to include no more than 1 "big" task and fill the list out with some "medium" or "small" tasks that are easy to accomplish. To do list apps such as the Microsoft To Do app are the best ways to create a to do list on your phone. With Microsoft To Do you can easily create and sync your task lists across multiple devices so you have your to do list available whether you are on your desktop, phone, or tablet.

Todoist is flexible enough to adapt to most workflows but not so complicated as to overwhelm. And it adds new features regularly: you can view projects as a Kanban board, for example, and navigating the app by keyboard is much smoother after recent updates.
Overall, this is a great first to-do list app to try out, especially if you don't know where to start. Todoist also integrates with Zapier , which means you can automatically create tasks in Todoist whenever something happens in one of your favorite apps.
