An iteration in a positive direction for me was switching to NotePlan.
Every day I get a fresh sheet of paper and I write my todo list as needed. If I want to bring in tasks from previous days, I can go find them and move them to today. My todos are intermingled with my notes for the day, saved links, and my journal.
This way, my list doesn't grow and grow if I don't tend to it, yet I also never lose todo items.
I can also make ad hoc todo lists on project pages, for instances.
I suppose it's quite similar to just using a notebook, except there's a view where you can see all of your todos.
