The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way. - Heraclitus

And the smaller and more detailed the tasks in your list, the more likely they are to become obsolete/wrong before you get to actually implementing them.
