yak shaving has a stack structure.
a new problem that stops you from continuing the current problem requires you to put it aside and solve the new problem first. so you push it.
when the problem is solved, you pop it from the stack, and when your stack is deep enough, then remembering what came before is difficult.
thus; forget the todo-list. just write a linear todo-stack that only contains all tasks you are presently simultaneously solving, ordered by how they depend on one another.
