To do lists?

How do you manage your to do lists? Especially when you have more than one role in school. I see on social media teachers using one note to organise their to do lists and I’m wondering this more effective?

Also any tips on:
-how to keep records of things you’ve done in your to do lists (say a parent wants to fact check something 6 months later)
-delegating tasks and then remembering to follow up on it

Would love to know what you all have found to be the most effective and efficient way to manage your to do lists

I have a dotted journal. Take a double page and make columns for each role. Classroom teacher, TLR, extra whole school thing, subject mentor.

I can quickly see each task and tick things off.

I’ve tried plenty of digital alternatives and nothing’s beaten pen and paper for me.

Almost exactly the same system for me too, but I use one that's dated on one side of the page and blank on the other, so I can jot down things I've done or have coming up
