I have found the more I plan for, the more I inherently rebel. A To-do list becomes a list of things I want to avoid.

To solve this I just use a pad and paper. At the start of the day I make a list of things that need to be done and then cross them off. Anything not done goes on to tomorrows' list.

I really don't want to quote Dominic Toretto but maybe he had a point about living his life in short-bursts.
