So it's a case of "Let the gum decide"
In my life now there is only two "ToDo" items:
"Keep on Breathing"
"Keep out of the way of Her Indoors"

I used the grey list between my ears since the days when I did not have a computer yet. Kindof freeware that came bundled with myself.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

I find that my wetware tends to "lose" items, particularly when I leave one room and enter another.
It may be a momentary interruption in the WiFi signal, but I'm not sure...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I rarely forget my 'to-do' things, but do tend to remember them them at the wrong time.

TODO: Make a single TODO list and stick with it.
My own TODO list:
1. Make a TODO list (check)
2. Check off the first item on the TODO list (check)
3. Realize you've already accomplished two things on the list (check)
4. Reward yourself with a nap! (in progress)

You are a winner
But seriously sticking to ToDo routine is is definitely a ToDo!

I use a simple spreadsheet for my ToDo list. I have a column that is rated 1 - 10 (decimals included) and I sort the priority on that list. Items that I have finished fall through the filter.
I try to groom my list once a week and I add to it everyday.
The thing about these types of lists is that you need to come back to it every 2-3 days for it to me effective. You HAVE to stick to it. If you don't then IMHO, you should abandon the list altogether.

JIRA at work, everything that needs to be done becomes a backlog task.

You use this for Home/personal tasks or taking about ToDo-at work?

Work-Todo. Personal Todos are managed by either bein iterative (thus repeating) tasks, or by calendar entries.

So, really, by implementing a ToDo list you've just given yourself even more to do. Furthermore, if it maintains a hierarchy, which it must by definition of its very existence, well, To Do: see next paragraph.
I've a mental list of snarky remarks I could have put in this reply, but really, if you can't remember what it was on its own merit it probably wasn't that important, anyway.
Cheer yourself up: as these urgent tasks fade into oblivion, don't fret - they've just gone home quietly - without disturbing you. Now - just do likewise.

I would imagine the frequency of your changing ToDo list management methods is directly proportional to the size of your ToDo list.
If you haven't already, I would suggest installing Wife. Wife will always prioritize your ToDo list, and comes with a built in nagging reminder system.

This application is no longer being supported by its creator, and has a few serious bugs:
- Tends to chatter at high speeds
- No "mute" option
- Requires constant attention and maintenance
- If does not receive attention, may decide to spontaneously uninstall itself, trashing any Money files in the process
Marc Clifton wrote: Wife will always prioritize your ToDo list
According to the application's built-in priorities, not yours.

Just realised all that also 100% true substituting 'Wife' with 'microsoft.'
So that's their business model! Wow! It's brilliant, full credit.
but I still refuse to embiggen their 'm'.

I think once you factor the total cost of ownership (TCO) over time ... where 'owner' refers to 'wife' and 'owned' refers to you ... and include children, housing, medical, day care, education, divorce, child-support, and psychiatric care ...
The TCO will be greater than the sum of all possible losses if you had never kept a to-do list, and never remembered important tasks.

loll it's like running to a new container when things overflows. If I had cleared things up on time, I think I'd have remained with just one.

The whole burden of introducing this ToDo "process" is to get rid of the gun pointed at my back by my wife. lol 60-70% tasks in someway related to my wife. Like Get this for the baby, Plan outing , Plan for her birthday. (compulsively)
Oh damn, it just strikes to me, her birthday is nearing pretty close. Need to enter this in ToDo first, Or get ready to die.

I have also tried (in vain) many of the programs you mentioned. The best thing I have found so far is OneNote...it's actually the only thing I use it for.
Legal pads and scratch paper are gathered at the end of the day, or at the start of the next day and the interesting bits get updated, added, or marked as complete in OneNote.

Simply write a script, in your favourite scripting language of course, that converts all the To Dos into Ta Das.
