And the dreaded.... To-do List

I'm procrastinating starting the latter.... I need to concentrate and jot down all the activities and projects that require my attention. But I know what will happen. I'll lose it, or disregard it, or purposely write down things I've already done so I can scratch through them and feel a sense of accomplishment. I'm too scattered to follow a list... but can I learn? Can I succeed without one?
