LOL. :D
I'm not quite that bad, but I get ya. ;-)

Perhaps you would find the frame of structured procrastination (http://www.chronicle.com/article/How-to-ProcrastinateStill/93959) useful?

It sounds to me like you are getting a LOT done...just not necessarily the exact items on your list in a linear order.

Sounds like productive puttering to me.

Do some of those things -- wrangling dishes and laundry, watering plants, attending to the cat -- rate to-do list entries?

I was going to say that the trick was to put the recurring work on the to do list. I go so far as to put three entries on the list if I need to do three laundries. That makes the list longer which may bother some people, but I get satisfaction out of being able to cross them off individually. I definitely saw several things that could rise to the level of being on the to do list in the original post here.
