Basically from what you've written, you are still addicted to scheduling everything, but now you do it in notion.

If you need to constantly drag items you didn't complete to the next day, it means you are either a professional procrastinator, which TODO lists just make it worse, or you are over committing and need to either find a way to delegate, or just don't do it.

I bet that if you maintain literally 1 file with TODOS and remove those lines as you complete it and use a Calendar(preferably, only for work), you'll do just fine.

All that energy wasted planning, you can use it for action.

Or maybe it's the best way for this person to stay on track. You seem awfully judgmental over a relatively basic strategy to complete tasks. Have you ever considered that some people do things because it's the best way for THEM to accomplish tasks?

I've got ADHD. I either (a) complete the task immediately, (b) have anxiety over the task and procrastinate, (c) completely forget about the task altogether until its important. I don't create lists for fun. I create them because I accomplish things faster when I have a list of things to knock out.

Virtually everyone who has ever gone through something like this has already DONE what you described, and it didn't meet their needs. If you've got time to waste on HN, then you're clearly not as hyper-efficient as you like to think you are.

Not the parent, but I bridle at the notion (see what I did there?) that a calendar should only be for work. Some of us have busy lives to manage. I wish I could keep work and personal calendars all in one place, but my employer and my own desire for privacy prohibit it.
