You are the intended listener in those statements, which makes you
{do}. Therefore you can use {ko} to refer to yourself. After all, when
you're telling yourself something you're also listening to yourself.

Is there an imperative form of {mi}?  I looked through the cmavo list,
but didn't see anything besides {ko}.  If there's no cmavo, what's a
good way to convey the same concept?  I'm thinking of statements like
the entries in a todo list where I might write "wash the car" or "pay
the phone bill".  I think of those statements being imperative to
myself.
