I'm not sure if it's a good thing or just really sad, but I find it a lot easier to manage my life as I would a software project. You come up with some long term goals, figure out what "user stories" that you have to do to get there, map it out... still keeping in mind to stay flexible in the short term to deal with things you had no idea would pop up.
This "life as a project" though popped into my head the other day. Laura and I needed a quick and easy to to collaborate and keep track of "todo's" and lay out a plan of attack. So I installed a wiki that we both can assess and work with. Such a better solution than emailing text files around. We'll also use this for keeping track of our "lessons learned" (I call it a post-mortem) when we travel so we can improve.
Does this make me a super big nerd? Probably, but I see it as picking the right tools for the job. ;-)
