I don't make lists of to-reads, outside of keeping a list of ongoing series in my annual Goodreads challenge thread. But I do put some work into keeping my various media organized so that I can enjoy them most easily.
-- Ripping movies / tv shows to my media center PC, and having them presented in an easy-to-navigate manner through multiple interfaces (WMC, on the Roku, or through the media server client on another computer or device)
-- All my CDs ripped to iTunes with complete metadata
--All my ebooks in calibre, and though I never quite catch up on the metadata, the bulk of them are complete
I used to put a lot more time into it than I do now, which was good because it gave me a clearer picture of what I have. These days, I just do maintenance every so often, primarily in calibre because the other collections don't get added to very often.
So yes, there is some work involved, but it makes the process of enjoying these things much better, so it balances out.
