Costco Wholesale Membership Update

I got your note, and I think keeping it simple is probably the best way to handle it.
I would start with the shorter list first, because once I feel like I have one small thing completed, the rest stops seeming so crowded. Sometimes I overplan and then spend more time arranging the plan than doing anything useful, so lately I have been choosing just two tasks to focus on and letting the rest wait its turn.
The other thing that helps me is changing the setting for a little while. Even moving from one room to another makes it easier to reset and stop circling around the same thought. If I stay in the same place too long, I just stare at the same page and call that progress.
I do not think you need a perfect system for this. A decent start usually creates its own momentum, and that momentum is what makes everything feel more manageable by the end of the day.

I tried the approach you mentioned, and it actually worked better once I stopped expecting it to feel natural right away.
For the first few minutes I was awkward and distracted, but then I settled in and found a pace that felt easier to keep. That seems to happen every time I start something new. I want the middle part before I have even gone through the beginning.
I also think it helped that I gave myself a clear stopping point instead of telling myself to keep going until everything was finished. When the end point is visible, I stay calmer and I do not drift off as much. Strange how a small boundary can make something feel less heavy.
If you want, I can share the little checklist I used next time. It is nothing fancy, just a few notes in the order that made sense to me. That saved me from second guessing each step and having to restart halfway through.
