While I can't answer for the "man" part of the question, I can say that I really need lists. I have a very busy schedule, and its really easy to let tasks just slip through my fingers when I actually have the time to do them. I've found the only way for me to be sure to get everything done in a day that I need too, is to make a detailed list the night before. I plan out practically every minute, and its made a huge difference. For the whole ten minutes it takes to write up the list at night, I make up in hours of work I would otherwise use trying to recover from my extreme procratination. Make lists you new best friend, you won't regret it.
