It looks to me like you want a list of check boxes?  If so, Org Mode 
will do this, and along with ~adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode~, will also soft 
wrap the left side automatically.

Which reminds me, you did not specify if you wanted a 'hard' (inserting 
actual spaces/tabs) or 'soft' (display only) wrapping.  Most of other 
solutions mentioned will give you the former.  But maybe that's what you 
want?
