The TODO list management (Part 2)

So been using Google Calendar for a while now, trying to flesh out the monster is my Chaos management.
One of the tools to do so was the "TO DO list" which I've been focusing on these 2 weeks.

Actually i should be evaluating my past weeks TO DO list right now, in order to optimize it.
Not really happening as you can see.

The tool has it's perks using the "You'll only manage to work 60% of the scheduled time, as the last 40% will be used up by interruptions" scheme.
This is quite true. And using this scheme for planning in the future will aide me in not overbooking myself too much. Trouble with actually doing my TO DO list here is that I don't work in such a nice and stable environment. Or maybe I do I just don't realize it.
The first week I was sticking close to the List and it worked okay, but the next week here I've just exited. I simply stopped looking at my tasks. The reason for this is that the tasks I'm mostly aware of needing to do are the boring tedious tasks like cleaning the mailbox. Things that doesn't hurt that much if not done this time around.
Well this, it doesn't hurt if I skip it this time around, tends to escalate? same thing with the doing the dishes, there's no problem in skipping once in awhile. As Long as you're getting it done completely at a later time.
Currently my mailbox has grown to a size where I frankly don't know what's in it. And as you all know, simply deleting it all often has a tendency to bite you in the arse later on.

The fun part in this project is that it works perfectly for my non work life. Sometimes you can wonder why my private life is so ordered compared to my cooperate life. Nevertheless.
In fact one of  major issues tends to be hitting the sack at night. My body needs a certain amount of sleep. There is no way around it, trust me I've tried. But I always keep pushing it as I'm burning away the nightoile.
Having a simple reminder that's it's time to prepare for a shutdown, helps me meet that deadline. I don't think I've made it on time yet, but with my sleeping patterns half an hour makes quite a difference in the grand scheme.

So my conclusion on this project, as I'll be finishing it before the end is:
It's works wonders in an orderly setup, but it doesn't provide order itself.

I can use it when I build up projects and have fixed regular tasks, But that is also exactly what the wording imply I see.
It's a TO DO list. A horizontal list.... Hmmmm.

And yes, as Jeanette mentions in the first part: Remember to book your free and off hours. the 60% work vs 40% distraction isn't really that far off most places, you just tend to forget it.
