I keep a "master todo" list in my planner, so I can transfer any important ideas over to that list, and redo it once a week, removing any tasks that aren't important or that have been completed. My list has stayed manageable, and my mind stays clutter free. I haven't quite figured out a foolproof way to force myself to take a break in between projects, because I still mess this one up. My todo list helps acts as my reminder. As I mark off one completed project, I have a few moments to pause while I decide what to do next. Sometimes I remember to take a break, sometimes not. Perhaps I need to include "break" on my list! I’ve created a system for organizing my todo lists: I keep a folded piece of paper in my back pocket, so I can jot down any ideas that come to mind.

I big on planning and creating extensive "to do" lists...and it's hard to just shut down your brain sometimes and just relax and take some time for yourself. if only we had a reminder or an alarm clock that went off every time we really needed a break...because like you said, it's easy to go from one project directly to the next. so true.
