Use more the 2 minutes rule. Use lists as reminders, not as documentation of your actions. In your example:

"send and email asking for a quotation" - if at the right context, just do it.
"compare the quotation with the other suppliers" as said.
"send a purchase order" as said.

We all enjoy checking boxes. But that's not the point
