Recently, I've been asking myself questions instead of a list "I need to do". For example, instead of "do: xyz", more "why do I need to do xyz?", "is this important? when will you come back to it?", "did you do xyz?" and then responding to it - huh why did I not think of this earlier?

reminds me of the "5 Whys" method, popularized by Sakichi Toyoda. By asking "why" repeatedly, you drill down to the root of a problem or task, gaining deeper understanding and insight.
