As the title says, I’m making a to-do list and wanted to ditch the basic “done” / “not done” labels or the standard ✔️✅❌ emojis.

I’m aiming for something more symbolic or creative — something that still clearly communicates the task status (done vs not done), but maybe makes me excited,spark some curiosity or aesthetic joy when I see & use them, so I'll actually get motivated and want to use it, Aestheticsis important to me (ADHD coded👾), anyone else feel this?😅

If anyone here has clever/cool emoji systems, themes, or even symbols they use that feel better than the basics, I’d love to hear them.🦋✨ Thanks in advance for the inspiration!
