Every morning I make 3 lists: (1) do immediately, (2) goals for today, (3) do eventually.

I do (1) immediately. I work on (2) until I need a break, and work on (3) for a bit, then go back to doing (2). All 3 lists live in a single text or markdown file, one for each day.

Like most people, I have a bit of an attention deficit, so putting fun and long term useful (but not necessary) tasks on (3) makes it easier to take breaks but still remain productive. An example is writing a blog post.
