I try to strip things down to the essentials: 1. the things I must do (like eat, or die) 2. the things I should do (like exercise, or get unhealthy and weak and scrawny) 3. the things I want to do (to be me, natural, happy) If I can't put a task in one of those 3 buckets, I usually don't do it at all. Or at least, it's a lower priority. 4. everything else. blah. meh.
