Mostly through Wunderlist. I try to keep as few lists as possible so I force myself to prioritize, so I only have two: Work and Not-Work (my "Inbox").

I'll make temporary lists for specific, detailed tasks like a moving checklist or a packing checklist. Afterwards, I'll delete them.

As for the tasks themselves, I try to make them as fine-grained as possible. Like, "write tests for that function you wrote", or "talk to Allen about something". Sometimes they're just questions I have that I need to think about, like "what about this edge case?" or "how far back do we look?"

Usually there's something else that tracks what I have to do at a higher level, i.e. JIRA or Trello. In those cases, at the end of my current tasks, I simply have a "look at JIRA"
