This is more or less my answer as well. I remember being overwhelmed by a seemingly unending list of todos before finals in my freshman year of college and was getting nothing done other than stressing about them. Eventually, I just chose something that I was willing to start, and then the next, and then the next, until it was done.
I had realized that the hardest part for me is starting, because I paralyze myself with a moebius strip of todos. It is easy for my mind to think of a list and just cycle through the same items over and over, which makes it feel unending. Eventually I just start, and that also starts a positive feedback loop, and then I'm done and feel much better.
