Here is a basic to-do list of the house. There is no priority, there is no distinction between tiny items or big items and it definitely isn't thorough. (Crossed out means I've already done it.)
Craigslist:

Living Room:
Remove wallpaper
Paint walls
Do something with curtains (dye them?)

Paint walls
Paint trim
Move dining room to living room and make current dining room office/playroom

Master bedroom:
Replace vanity, sinks, shower stall, lighting
Nursery:

Utility Room:

Garage:

If I try to make a list in priority order of what I think I'll tackle first...maybe I'll give myself deadlines??
DONE 1)
DONE 2)
HALFWAY DONE 3) Remove wallpaper in
DONE 4)
DONE 5)
XX - Changed my mind 6) Get cable hook up for family room - November 30th
DONE 7)

10) Replace bath light fixtures - January 15th
Here is the priority list as it stands now -
1) Remove wall paper in living room
$ 2) Add crown molding in living room and master bedroom
$ 3) Paint hallway
$ 4) Change mirror in master bathroom
$ 5) Replace 2 hanging light fixtures in master bathroom
$ 6) Replace 2 hanging light fixtures in hallway
$ 7) Paint living room walls & trim
$ 8) Paint dining room walls & trim
9) Remove wallpaper in spare bathroom
10) Paint spare bathroom walls & trim
11) Paint trim in nursery including closet doors
Most don't require a lot of money, in fact I have the trim paint. I put $ next to ones that we'll have to save for. I haven't picked out paint colors for most of these rooms either, I need to figure out how to get the paint colors to flow throughout the house. We have gray stripes in the foyer and a deep blue in the family room.
