If this worked for you that's cool, but I've tried this and it's exactly the sort of thing that burned me out.

Apps, lists, and AC are things I can do on autopilot and sometimes it's more tiring to have to manage and delegate tasks and follow up to make sure they're completed than it is to just take a minute and update the list myself.

Meanwhile, being solely responsible for the game's creative and interactive output is exhausting. It can be even more difficult at a small game than a large one because at large games players will have more options for keeping themselves busy with CR and player plots. I agree that it's a big ask for anyone to care about my game as much as I do, but that's why I wish it were easier to find people who'd build a game with me so it would be OUR game instead of just mine.
