When you’re adding tasks to whatever task management app you’re using, be sure to add a due date — even if it’s an arbitrary one. Assigning a due date means you will revisit this item, and it won’t live forever at the bottom of a revolving list of higher priority items.
On the due date, you have the option of completing the task, or simply pushing the due date further out, but at least it has been brought to your attention that the task has been around for a while, and still isn’t complete.

Good idea, I know a few apps have those “floating” tasks where if you pass the due date on the then the app will continually push the task to be do to the current day. Which of course, can be either good or bad depending on what you do and what the task is for.
But at least the task won’t continually float downwards deeper into the void.
