Verb form used for a to-do list for oneself?


What verb form is usually used in Japanese for a to-do list for oneself?

I want to start writing my to-do list in Japanese. In English, I would
typically write my to-do list as actionable commands to myself (e.g., "Email
Dave", "Vacuum the living room"). So I would expect to use something like [the
Japanese version of the command form](https://www.tofugu.com/japanese-
grammar/verb-command-form-ro/). However, I don't know if giving such commands
to yourself seems unnatural in Japanese. Or if there are more natural forms
for writing to-do lists. Are there any forms that seem the most common or
natural for this purpose?




The plain dictionary form is used, but する is commonly omitted when the verb is
a suru-verb. Simple noun phrases can be used, too. Examples:

  * デイブにメール(する)
  * 部屋に掃除機をかける
  * 卵を買う
  * ホテルの予約 or ホテルを予約(する)
