I have one simple rule, if I have a list of things to get done I get them done prior to doing anything fun.

I'm big on lists. I print off mon-fri and have all my tasks written out for each day. If I get them done prior to End of day, I give myself leisure. If I get them done prior to Friday, ill take a day off and do something fun. Most of the time this means sitting in a coffee shop hubskiing, but some times it means the museum with my daughter or a picnic in the park.

The key thing is to earn my free time.

Do you put bigger tasks on your list, or do you break them down into small tasks?

Yes, and ideally I can "knock out" the bigger tasks first. The long-term projects, I don't really have on my list. I just know they exist and work on them.
