Really? I would love some case studies
If for no other other reason than due to the sheer absurdity of the idea of procrastinating over creating a to-do list. It's something you can't help but do immediately, and is "self-hosting"!
I might have been exaggerating, but I think it's a good exercise in coming to terms with your abilities and task management ideas in general, to create your own to-do system ahead of anything else you're doing.
