Time (mis)management

Okay ladies, I need your help in a bad way.

I'm detail oriented, I loooove making lists, and yes, I am one of those girls who puts ridiculous things on her to do list that she's already accomplished just so she can cross them off (Zip up jeans? Check!)

Why on earth do I have such a hard time staying on task during the day? 

I've tried flylady a few years ago, and my control journal worked for a while, sort of. I think that having things written down in a list helps me hold myself accountable for what I need to be accomplishing each day, since I am like a human-squirrel combo who easily gets distracted by all things shiny, pretty, or shaped like a book. And I will say that when my routine works, it works. I am awe-inspiringly productive. It's a beautiful thing.

But when I get behind or feel overwhelmed with my life, I inevitably drop all the plates I'm trying to spin simultaneously. My house gets messy, the laundry piles up until I'm wearing running skirts to the grocery store, and I consider serving my family condiments for dinner. (That grocery store trip I took in running clothes? I only remembered chocolate and microwave popcorn because I was so stressed out I forgot. my. list.)

Am I alone in this vicious cycle?

Do you have any tips to help this chronic list-making procrastinator out?

Do you have any condiment-only dinner recipes to share?

Do you think I'm setting myself up for failure by writing up routines like this (yes, I'm sharing!) or should I just accept that nothing works 100% of the time and everybody occasionally has their running skirt-and-popcorn types of days?
