Phrase question

Is it true that 'of' should be omitted in the below sentence due to the word "more", where it is required in 'there are a lot of things to do'?

There are a lot (of) more things to do.

Thanks!

I see. So ".. a lot of things.." implies the fact that there are many things to do, whereas ".. a lot more things.." implies ina addition to the things you have seen/experienced there are other things.

Have I distinguished the difference between them correctly?
