I've been suspecting for last few years that reading GTD and productivity blogs in high school might have been the biggest mistake of my life, as I remember that have always drown in overloaded lists of things not yet done since that high school time, and somehow before it I never felt a need for increasing productivity.
I feel that todo lists help me get through all those so called errands - stuff I want to get done, but might not particularly enjoy the "doing" part. Otherwise I would forget many of them. But in case of things that really matter for me, writing down TODOs feels silly, as I'd rather actually do the stuff, not write about it.
But between work, university and my S.O., I have almost no time to actually do anything from that TODO list, so it up being a list of stuff I could have got done if I had a 40-hour day.
