...it did not occur to me that i could separate out tasks in which case YES, sign me up for a dishwasher! And a landscaper, oh man.
& re: lists above, what works for me is only having like 1-2 things, like you said, but also recording EVERYTHING else that i manage to do - even the stupidest shit like filling the water jug and showering. :P i also put things like drawing or writing on there, because i try to value them just as much as something "productive" - anyway, i call it my reverse to-do list & seeing it all laid out usually gets the productivity ball rolling for me. I usually end up doing more than I think I do. ymmv, of course.
