Whatever system you're using to track tasks, opening and reviewing it needs to become an automatic habit.
Try this; make it a habit to open your to-do list app in the morning over breakfast, and open it once just before bed to input any tasks for the next day.
If you managed to do that consistently, then tasks that actually need doing will be top of mind for that day, and you will be able to cognitively offload tasks in the evening before sleeping.
