Don’t know if it’s any help, but one bit of advice I’ve read about to do lists is to break them down into small actions you can actually do, rather than broader things that are more scary. eg, instead of ‘Hire van’, how about:

* Ask friends for recommendations of van hire places.
* And/or choose three places with nice ads in the Yellow Pages.
* Call two or three places asking for prices.
* Decide on which place to use.
* Call and book the van.

That kind of thing. Of course, that might be obvious or unhelpful, but I’m trying :) Good luck!
