I really don't like my lists...

[North]

While I like the ideas of GTD - in day-to-day business I tend to avoid looking at my lists. I just don't look at them...

Honestly speaking I'm a bit afraid of them. It is just no fun looking at hundreds and hundreds of tasks and projects.

Is that a conclusion or do you feel directly that you don't like looking at them? I mean, if it's a conclusion it's like "hm, I haven't used my lists at all this week, why could that be? Must be because I don't like the lists, they're no fun with all those hundreds of items", and if you feel it directly it's more like "okay, I'm considering looking at my lists right now, but damn what a resistance I feel."

Just wondering, because I too don't use the lists nearly as much as I should, but I'm not certain that I dislike the lists. I don't feel any dislike directly and there might be other explanations, like simply inertia, or disliking the things I need to do rather than the lists themselves. I suspect the latter actually, that I'm not just into that whole work thing ("work" broadly defined). I have some problems with fatigue which makes many activities painful to some extent. But I also think I put too much on my plate given the circumstances, which is a problem with the list.
