I think you need goals documented in some fashion to be truly productive. Maybe not a task list but some list of your goals across days/weeks/months, otherwise you’re just noodling around or putting out fires. Or maybe I just have too much stuff going on at work. :-) For me, having a Someday/Maybe list is critical. I am not focusing on it every day but I am periodically reviewing it.
