I'm feeling overwhelmed by my To Do list. How do you cope? (beehaw.org)

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?

Gotta say that the “who can move?” Is a powerful concept for me. Addressing the list by what can be done now really helps filter it down. I know that if I get started on my list the momentum usually carries through to other tasks, but getting started can be as easy as “that can be worked on now.” I’m not OP but I appreciate your comment!
