Baby steps. They don't have to be organized lists, there's no need to overthink it -- write emails to yourself, send TODO messages over Whatsapp to yourself -- be as chaotic and inefficient as you like in the process of writing said lists, and don't worry about the perfection.
Wheelchair users can get around without standing up, and dyslexic people can read and write at their own pace
Okay but who's gonna do the reading of said lists? Because I never see them again after writing. It doesn't even occur to me that I'd written a list.
Well I've come to realise that it's not the list itself really that helps you accomplish the task, it's the writing of it.
That momentary 10 second concentration of writing said thing down on paper or on your phone is often enough for it to linger just behind your frontal lobe long enough to prompt you to do it sometime in the next few hours or day.
Dunno, try it, see how you fare
Well from my point of view if I'm not making a good list I may as well not be making a list
More unwanted advice: do not let your perfectionism stand in the way of your progress
