on my list vs in my list

Both 'on my list' and 'in my list' are correct, but they're used in different contexts. 'On my list' is commonly used to refer to items or tasks included in a list. On the other hand, 'in my list' is less common and could be used in specific situations where 'in' is more appropriate.
