Recently i thought about making to-do list that don't suck :) Interested to know more about it?

While a noble pursuit, I think there are dozens of start-ups (completely free/open apps as well as for-profit businesses) trying to do exactly this. I think Trello counts as a big one.
Trello is great, i used that for few times. But it turned that i spent much of my time to organise things than make it done.
We both are on the same page here I guess! Wish to discuss more?
Would be glad to do so :)
What sucks about to-do lists?
Actually it's related to my laziness (and hopefully others had that too) to write to-do list because of these two things :

1. It will become a long list (when reaching 10 or more items) and it made me psychologically "lazy" to write more or mark some item as "done". 2. I just realised that it's best to focus on one thing and make it done as soon as possible rather than seeing a long to-do list.

Any thoughts? :)

can't you make your to-do list short?
Of course i can do that per to-do. But imagine if we have 10 or more to-do list.
How about a to-do list that deletes all but the most recent n entries?
Interesting, could you please elaborate more?
Are you me? Let's talk.
What do you mean by "are you me"? :)
