Normal human brain can’t remember that much. It also helps to write down everything that needs to get done first, so that you can prioritize between them.

Maybe I am just on the boring side of life and I don't really have that much to do.
My biggest problem earlier was that I thought I should have a todo list to achieve things in life. As it turns out it just does not matter, my connections, my starting point in life was much more defining to what I can achieve today than any form of organization of my self I would implement.
Of course unless I would be totally undisciplined and disorganized, but it turns out that I was disciplined and organized enough to reach good life and adding todo list is not something that would help me.

That's a separate problem, and a good reason to have periodic reviews. If you have big items that stay on your list for weeks you should consider removing them or make them more actionable than they currently are.
