The effort taken to formaly estimate that would exceed the time to complete some of these tasks
have you tried ordering your to-do list by the length of time it takes to complete things?
nope, can't be bothered. Seems unnecessary
A rough ordering by amount of time needed is actually very important. I'm not saying you need to be accurate within 10%, but having some idea of what's likely to take minutes, an hour, a lot of hours, weeks, or months is the only way you can tell whether you're likely to achieve a goal-- or make progress toward it--- in a given chunk of time.
I'll give it a try. I have updated my original post.
