I spent some time in Asia and one of the things that impressed me was the use of slippers/flipflops/thongs. Maybe it was just who I happened to be around but I ended up with one pair to walk outdoors arround the corner , another solid pair for all day outside, a pair for in the house, another for in my room, and another for in the bathroom/shower.
ToDo lists can be like that in that they work as a note to self on paper or as an unstructured text file, or as a metadata graph multi-linked procedure with calendar start/stop times.
What you need to do can also be embodied arround you in a memory palace type structure where something physical like putting on your shoes reminds you that you need to decided about that gym membership.
The point is there are many ways that work better or worse situationally and having a personalized workflow drawing from a range of methods applied through practice is better than locking onto any single definition.
