There are many things I want to do. How do I do them?

In the past I have found myself jumping from one thing to the next never really taking any task to the final stage. Thus, I have decided to try the following simple strategy (June 21, 2025):

I will keep a todo list of things I want to do. This list is mutable and the order of items doesn't matter. I choose one task from the list, and do it until it is either complete or I call it quits. I then move that item from the todo list to the done list stating the start and end date and, optionally, a synopsis of the work.

I repeat until I die or the todo list is empty.

Note that the lists can only contain things (at least vaguely) related to Computer Science and Engineering
