For me the question is if plants can actually hear these distress sounds, otherwise it’s not really for communication.

Yeah I need this too! But for me a long list is in itself overwhelming. So I started to use blank cards (like those in hotels) and only put 3 todos on them with a whiteboard marker. I still have the long list somewhere on my pc but this way, I only ever see 3 calls to action. I tend to make them more specific on the card. This also comes with the satisfaction of wiping away a task when it’s done (I hate a long list with striked through tasks, because I have to scan to find the remaining ones).

This „dependencies until you feel overwhelmed „ hits a bit too close to home.

I had the same experience.
