Everyone has got a things-to-do list. Some are long, some short, some difficult, some easy. Just, as a reminder for ourselves and inspiration to others, I'm going to share mine with you.
(mind you, this is a shortlist showing the main things to be done.)
Clean the garage (First to be done before any other, it's a bomb site right now),
strip, paint and fix our daughter's training bicycle (about 2 months to go),
finish the bathroom seeling (has been on the list when we bought the house about 5 years ago),
strip, fill and paint the outside of our house (I hope the window frames aren't rotted),
Next, the fun-to-do-list:
finish my "thing in a jar",
build a steampunk robot costume (to be done before halloween)
learn how to develop 35mm film and build a darkroom,
make fairings for my recumbent bicycle,
You may share your to-do-list with us and use this thread as a guideline. You can cross out what's been done and add if necessary.

Persons intending to travel by open carriage should select a seat with their backs to the engine, by which means they will avoid the ashes emitted therefrom, that in travelling generally, but particularly through the tunnels, prove a great annoyance; the carriage farthest from the engine will in consequence be found the most desirable.

Do you mean the whole list, or the list of lists?
(mine was 4 pages long recently).
some excerpts:
paint the shed (decide whether or not to change the trim from purple to ??)
re-organize the north side of the shed
etc.
...
clean out the rifles
shoot the rifles at zombies (meaning ... clean them again)
pawn off a ton of brass
make rack
etc.
...
cut down dead trees
gather firewood (5 cords this time)
...
annotate the current set of drawings
etc.
...
add second feeding of the garden
pick beans - freeze
pick basil - make more pesto
gather up canning supplies
etc.
...
fix current batch of other folks screwed up computers
etc.
...
come up with lighting solutions for the loft at the Birdnest
decorate the triangle of apathy
new door trim for front door
plans for additions.
etc.
...
scouting tasks
ETC.
...
tune bike
plan (and go on) bike adventure
etc.
I'm going to stop now - too much to do.
I think I'll procrastinate and eff about on the internet.
