a courthouse to-do list where your fate waits its turn alphabetically
means A docket is an official list of cases, items, or tasks scheduled to be dealt with, especially the agenda of matters awaiting a court.
from From late Middle English 'doggette,' a brief summary or abstract attached to a document. Its deeper roots are uncertain — possibly a clipped form of 'dock' in the sense of cutting short, since a docket was a docked-down, abbreviated note. Over time the little summary slip grew into the full ledger of business waiting to be handled.
