If I don't get things all done, then I shift them to my NEXT to-do list. I love crossing stuff off. Oh man. I'm going to go make one right now! My god I love to-do lists.

So long as I complete those that are identified as urgent or must-do's, I feel good. The other trick is to evaluate why you didn't get things done. If you truly just ran out of time or energy, but made a good effort, then you've got nothing to feel bad about. But if you were a couch potato all night instead of being productive, then hopefully you can turn it into a learning experience for self-growth. Doesn't that sound great? I should be a motivational fucking speaker! lol As for the nagging feeling, I experience that more when I don't write things down.
