This is weird - it is actually helping me to have this list.  Since I want to check stuff off, I get off my butt and just go do stuff I'd normally not think of as important enough but it's all important!  Lately I've been getting stuck on cleaning the kitchen and dining room over and over very thoroughly and leaving the rest of the house which is now a pit so this is making me do stuff elsewhere...  Even tho prioritizing can be good, I sometimes think it can be a downfall for me because the messier the house gets, the more I think I shouldn't be doing all these little things when in reality, they are what will dig me out of this hole...
