I did something very similar at the start of the year, refining my previous to do list into both different areas (teaching, admin, research), breaking down tasks into smaller parts that are then given urgency levels or deadlines, and then selecting a set of tasks to complete on a daily basis.
What I still need to do better is be more focused on completing one thing, I still find myself doing little bits of lots of things sometimes. I also like the idea of identifying bottlenecks where you are waiting for someone else.
