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

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?

I tell myself, just do one thing a day. If you have extra energy after completing that one thing, feel free to do another but don't overdo it or you will feel burned out and less compelled to do something the next day. Don't procrastinate. The longer you put things off you will be pressed for time and add more to the to-do list. By slowly widdling away the tasks you will feel accomplishment and relief.
