The trick is that you don't actually have to do all the tasks you write down. It is still nice to have a record of what you've planned so if you ever decide to jump back on any task you have a history of what you have done and any context associated with it on hand.
A lot of my todos are something like "I found this article interesting but I don't have the current skills to really understand everything in it" or "I want to add this feature to X but I think I will wait until the new version comes out because it will be easier then" or "I want to remember this when I finally decide to do Y".
This is what my read-later list is like. I always keep adding to it, but I don’t really have any part of my life carved out to read any of it. It’s full of good intentions to learn about things or start new hobbies. I migrated it a while ago and was really disappointed to find a lot of dead links. It makes me wonder what I missed out on.
