Sometimes I make multiple lists or sub-lists, eg. a broad list of shit to get done over a week to keep my eyes on the prize, and then maybe a daily list broken down into tasks. It's very satisfying to cross things off, even if it's like, 'eat breakfast' (aim low and win more, baby). And then I add or remove things if I have to. It's just for my eyes so I try not to stress, although sometimes when I actually SEE how much I have to get done all written down, I clutch at my head and wonder why I put things off so damn much.

It's an ongoing learning process, I guess.

Also, there are a zillion organization apps for iOS, android, desktop, any platform you care to use. Ever experimented with any? You might hit on something that works well for you. Me, I just buy small notebooks from walmart and then scribble in them but everybody's different.
