Clearly, your "list" is with you every moment that you are in your house. For me, a point comes in the day when I realize nothing more is going to get done, and then my list evaporates. Let yourself off the hook. This concept was expressed decades ago in the ad campaign: “It's Miller time.”
I recently “retired”, and “retirement” alters the relationships to leisure that you describe. The attitudes you identify come from deeply buried historical roots like puritanism, work ethic, economics/philosophies of scarcity, and the like. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critique_of_work
This is why McMansions are so popular! It’s easy to feel uncluttered in six thousand or so square feet, especially if you’re just one or two people living there.

I would recommend the book "Leisure, the Basis of Culture" by Josef Pieper (no relation, probably) on this topic.
