I keep two lists but organized slightly different:

- a global todo with things ordered by topic (no particular order of importance) which I go over regularly

- a daily Todo which consists of items I've 'checked out' for the day, which is the things I want to get done today - I try to keep the daily Todo doable by factoring in the time things will take. I also try to keep this daily todo achievable and not overly optimistic

Every morning I'll define my daily todo and merge back to the global one at the end of the day - I can always adjust on the fly the daily todo (even if I try to avoid that, barring emergencies) or can also always add stuff for later to the global one of course as things pop up

That's neat! Do you use a specific tool/app? Or is it just plaintext is even read paper?
The global Todo is actually two 'lists': email-based todo (managed with this system: https://dansilvestre.com/gtd-gmail/amp/#, slightly tweaked), and a OneNote page inside my main OneNote notebook for everything not coming from an email. The daily Todo tends to be paper, as there's something really satisfying about physically checking off items through the day to complete the list.
