As the title says, I’m getting pretty overwhelmed by a growing list of tasks I have to do. Laundry is piling up, I still need to unpack my car from a roadtrip last weekend, and an issue I’ve been working at work has been dragging on for too long.
What are your techniques for resetting and getting through tasks that have been sitting around for too long?
If I have a to-do list of, say, ten items I pick the easiest one first and do that. Just making a dent in the list makes further progression easier. Never start with a task that you’re unlikely to complete.
