Creating a task manager / TODO list made all the difference for me, for the simple fact that marking things as DONE provides a little dopamine. Over time you positively-reinforce yourself to do more things to get more magic checkboxes.

I try to keep everything in there. Of course I have my daily routine, project goals, scheduled events, people birthdays, etc.. But I also have things like vehicle maintenance, system maintenance, chores for home, and stuff like that.

My todo list becomes too big and I start to procrastinate.

What you describe, sound much like GTD. I never truly tried it because the kinds of task don't have much overlap with my life.

Another problem I have is prioritization. I can't do it well and want to do much more things than possible.
