It's about how you get your kicks, really. I discovered that I get a kick out of finishing things, and I get depressed and procrastinatey if a task drags-on and takes more than one session to complete. So instead of giving myself big hairy audacious tasks like "do the laundry", I split my to-do list down into laundry loads, and tick-off each one when it's complete. I don't even group related tasks together on the list, I'll put the most important ones first, say underwear and socks, then maybe a task to pay some bills, then something else, then the next laundry load, and so on. I don't necessarily do this on paper, but the important thing is how I tackle things, in bite-sized tasks and deliberately ignoring all the other similar bite-sized tasks that put together would just overwhelm me and make me procrastinate.
