Learn how to do these things in your head. External lists mainly exist to help your supervisor track what you are doing (so they "know what's going on"), and to help you fight your own forgetfulness.

If you have a setpoint in your mind of where you are trying to go, then simply stay focused and don't stop moving until you get there. When the load becomes too much for your short-term memory, then make a few notes to remind yourself of what you are trying to do.

Set a vague target, then leave your mind and shear willpower to do the rest.
