My current job title is "Head of T<important techy stuff>". I have to get lots of stuff done. But unless my to-do items are, "play guitar", "play nethack", "go for a walk" or "eat as much spaghetti as you want", chances are I don't _want_ to do those things. I _have_ to do them. I promise, you that a list comprised totally of things that I _want_ to get done - will get done. The things I _have_ to get done? Eh - sometimes they get done, sometimes the can gets kicked down the road, sometimes they get delegated, and sometimes (my favourite) they get cancelled. I have tried countless tools over my decades working, and none have helped me with the motivation issue.
