Little demo code for you, uses two files. One of which, you simply type your todo list into.
The other, you run when you want to print the todo list. Simple to setup so it prints to a monitor.

Create a file called something like "todolist". This can be whatever you want it to be really, just remember it.
(This file will contain your list.)

Now create a file called something like "todo". Again, this can be whatever you want, but todo makes sense.

Now inside "todo", type this.

file = fs.open("todolist", "r") -- todolist is whatever you named the other file.
local list = {}
local line = file.readLine()

repeat
table.insert(list, line)
line = file.readLine()
until line == nil

file.close()

for i, v in pairs(list) do
  textutils.slowPrint(v)
  sleep(0.5)
end

Also, this is the incorrect section for this thread.
It belongs here.

Do I write exactly that? Or do I write something different in the (list) and (line) parts?
Thanks

I'm sorry what don't you understand exactly?
Just make a file called "todolist" and type in your list of things to do.
Each line being one thing todo.

Then make a new file called "todo" and put that exact code into it.

I've done that, and it didn't work.
I'll try it again.
