You are one of the few people with the discipline to record what they do and create todo lists. I could not keep this up for a week. Do you try to estimate the time it will take to complete a task?
Have you done any global analysis of your data? I analyse software engineering data and am always on the lookout for more data. I offer a free analysis, provided the data can be made public (in anonymous form). Here is one I did earlier:
I have almost no discipline, I’ve just spent a lot of time making my habits take so little effort that that doesn’t matter :) Figuring out how to make it easy for myself to prioritize, and stick to those priorities, every day is actually a common recurring weekly review topic!
(I considered laying out my particular set of todo-related habits, but I don’t think they’d be very helpful to anyone else because of how personal it is—the important part is thinking about it a lot from the perspective of “how can I turn this into a habit that doesn’t require discipline for me,” not whatever idiosyncratic system you end up with.)

You might look into bullet journalling—a lot of people find it a pretty helpful and low-mental-effort way to keep to-do lists and record what they do.
