For obsessive list-makers like myself, here is a helpful list of apps to help you during the rest of your sheltering-in-place from the NY Times this past Sunday:

Here’s how to do your to-dos. →
In the morning, make a list of five to eight work goals for the day, and a separate list of chores. That list should contain no more than two or three items.
Be realistic about what you can accomplish, and resist the urge to make a to-do list for the whole week, which can leave you feeling stressed and overwhelmed.
Make the items on your to-do list specific, realistic and simple — don’t secretly pack 10 tasks inside one huge item, like “finish project.” Break your project into small, discrete pieces.
Give yourself five minutes or less to write your to-do list. Keep it focused and short. Don’t spend more time checking off items than completing them.
These apps can help:
Todoist: Works well across many platforms and is rich with features like reminders, notes and the ability to sync your lists with your devices.
Remember the Milk: Includes a feature that allows users to share tasks with others.
Ever note: This note-taking app allows you to create to-do lists in the form of personal notebooks.”
