A Rolling list is good for long term planning, what you need to get things done is to write down only one main task per day, do that and the rest will come automatically. And stop using complex software for to-do lists.
I totally agree. The biggest mistake I used to make when stuff got complex was trying to get back "control" by "normalizing all the tasks": writing stuff down way ahead of time etc. I now do one task at a time, take a short break, then the next task.
