I get the to-do list... I used to make them myself.

However, I found that I would stress over the list. I need to do this or I need to do that... whatever! Stress sucks and my life is better w/out it.

Now, I follow the "whats the most important thing I should be doing right now?" and do it.

Not everyone is like me, so I suggest sticking with what works for you and your life situation.

Cheers.
