I have this problem with long lists of tasks.

One think that has helped me is that each night, I make a list for the next day. And I pick only one important thing.

Just plan one task. Not lots.

The next day I try to focus on that one thing. I fail almost every day and I write the stuff I didn’t plan to do but did. Sometimes that’s just unforeseen stuff that must be done. But it’s usually just me getting sidetracked.

I write it on an index card so I’m not tempted to try to analyze the tasks over time. And it’s kind of neat now to see the stack of index cards.
