I stopped making 'general' to-do lists and now do things in a sorta 'Getting Things Done' (GTD) kinda way. I say sorta because I never really finished the GTD book.. that's still on my to-do list.
Anyhow, I make daily lists, weekly lists and long-term lists. This prioritizes what you really want and can do right now. When I make a list for a new day or a new week, I reevaluate all the unfinished things on my current list and I might even throw something off.
I am a connector of people at heart, personally and professionally. I love digging into the strategy of how to build and foster developer communities and have been doing so for 10+ years.
I think it's the "throwing something off" that catches me up :) I always feel like I have too many options and not enough time, so the thought of putting something to the side is difficult. I think the hardest thing is figuring out what to prioritize and how to make it all work toward the end goals. I suppose that's one way to throw things off... if it doesn't contribute toward the end goals, why is it on the list to begin with?

This is a metaphor for life in general, right?
