Schedule only one or two small items a day.
When the day comes, it’s almost a pleasant surprise.
OMG! All I have to do today is look at the new UX sharepoint site and read my IA
newsletter!

Your life after Getting Things Done

But remember, balance is all(lest you think I’m anal)
Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.
