+1 for Burkerman. The first thing I read from him was "it's worse than you think" [1]

I was trying to finish my to-do lists to rest when he pointed out... I'll never finish. I'll always put new things on my to-do list. Once you dig down, you realize the issue is even worse and that gives the opportunity for a paradigm shift.

here's how i shifted that paradigm:

have 1 item per list and no more, with only 3 priority levels: on deadline, life, wonderland.

make sure to stack whats finished.

'reorganize' lists you didn't get around to yet, regularly; just to know what's on them in case you ever stumble upon something that might extend one of the puzzles around those wondrous subject and objects on your many lists.
