  • Well, okay. The problem is that I use "to-do list" as well and distinguish it from the one I'm actually looking for. At the moment, I use "Amount of Planned Result", which makes sense to me but apparently not to native speakers. I'd appreciate it if you could take some time to explain what's wrong with my wording and which alternative might actually fit, if any. Commented Aug 22 at 10:44
  • @Vitalizzare I can't explain what is wrong with your phrasing in a meaningful way until I have a better sense of what you want your phrase to express. Your current phrasings are virtually meaningless to me. The combination of words makes no sense. As I wrote above, provide some full sentences (not mere noun phrases or captions) that establish a clear context and leave a blank for the phrase. Commented Aug 22 at 12:32
  • I'm out of ideas for how else I can explain my issue. The more I try, the less my question seems to be appreciated, and I really don't understand what's so wrong with it. To be honest, I'm starting to realize that learning English from native speakers can actually be a bad idea. More and more, it feels like asking a fish to teach me how to swim. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to look at my question. Commented Aug 22 at 13:30
  • @Vitalizzare I am not asking you to explain anything. I am asking you to write some sentences (not mere phrases) that show this phrase in actual use, leaving a blank for the phrase. The sentences should clearly establish a real-world specific context that illuminates things for us. Not something like "Did you get a chance to read Vitaly's ___________". Commented Aug 22 at 13:57
  • @Vitalizzare I will retract the close-vote I left just now if you remedy the situation with some examples where your needed phrase cannot be agenda or to-do list because they would be misleading and not convey the right sense. Commented Aug 22 at 15:36
