I'd seriously recommend utilizing a "Someday/Maybe" list for some of your tasks. My lists get really long and I started feeling overwhelmed. Using the S/M allowed me to put tasks there that I wasn't going to get too in the next month or 2 and it kept them out of my views. I have my S/M set to not display in the to-do lists. The key is to regularly review them and pull some back to active and add items that have recently been added to the overall list. Be honest with yourself, if its a "want to do" vs a "have to do" or "should do" then move it to the S/M list and focus on the things you've identified you really want to get done.
