What's happening is that you're getting bogged down by low-importance, low-impact tasks that are basically not going to make any difference if they're done before you launch.

One of the techniques I've found useful is simply starting new task lists every now and again, especially when I'm feeling overloaded. Don't transfer stuff, just add what you need to do off the top of your head.

You can keep the old ones to double check later, but I rarely ever do, the really important things will get added again.

Another thing to note, you really should have tried to sell at least one copy before you wrote a single line of code. I keep making this same mistake, but leaving the sales part until last is a recipe for disaster. That stuff shouldn't be in the second 90%.
