I tend to have a problem with overwhelm too, well actually that is an understatement and I have to agree with this. I think it comes down to focus, knowing exactly what you want, exactly where you are going and what you need to do now to get there. It comes down to having a system that you can trust whatever that may be.
Lots of people will throw various systems at you for this, while it's good to take notice of them, its best you take some time to work on something that works for you. Your system may be just something you have on your head, it may be a complex computer system, it may be post it note based, it doesn't matter, it's what works for you that counts.
It just has to be something that you can trust, so that you can work on whatever you feel is best without having to worry about anything else, because that is all handled by said system.
You don't have to be super effeictive or productive or whatever, that doesn't actually always lead to things getting done. It's perfectly fine for it to be messy and mistakes to be made, as long as your moving forward, if you have that focus and you know where you would like to go and you have a system that is gonna get you there then all is good, right? You just have to have one, then you have to trust it and yourself 100%
