Underload
If seeing a long list of to-do items is depressing or overwhelming to you, you might want to try the Mac or IOS version of Underload, an app designed to present you with one task at a time from Apple Reminders. When you open the app, it presents you with a task from your lists. You can choose to work on that task or cycle through your tasks until you find one you want to tackle. Youn narrow the scope to a particular list if you choose to. You can also click a button to be given a task at random. If you want to see a quick overview of everything. you can open Apple Reminders from within Underload with the click of a button. You can also create tasks from within Underload and assign them to a list with a note and a priority (but not a due date). Underload is $2.99 on the Mac App Store.
