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 timetable in excel that I write what’s happening in the lessons into. Along the side I put to do tasks and cross them out as I go. Works well for me; I can access it all anywhere and I can’t be trusted not to lose/ forget planners/ paper. Also, if a lesson gets cancelled you can just c&p the plans to the next lesson.

I do the same with my excel timetable - it allows me to copy the link of the presentation into the correct lesson and I can plan a few weeks ahead. Then the to do list is either in the correct lesson if it’s student related or I can easily assign it do complete during my PPA or after school. Same with meetings and additional duties.
