Thanks all!
I did pick up GTD over the weekend and read the first part of it. Seems like a great methodology, but I don't think it will address my core problem. I did find the idea of "open loops" of tasks/projects causing anxiety to hit home. I think in my case I'm loosely aware of various open loops I should accomplish and when I don't make progress towards them I get frustrated with myself. Perhaps if I define them and table them in a similar system I could at least rid some of the anxiety that comes when I don't accomplish some of them.

Cron, you hit the nail on the head!! I know exactly what you are saying and I've lost sight of that. Guess I was just too frustrated with myself for "wasting" a significant part of a weekend again and wanted an easy answer or solution in a book. I know better. You are right. Thanks for reminding me!
