I've been enjoying a strategy based on something Jack Dorsey mentioned. Keep a list of tasks, goals, or projects that you actively want to spend time on. They can be short tasks, or never ending/ongoing goals. Every morning make two lists. One list of items you want to work on that day for some amount of time, and more importantly a list of items you will not do that day. Knowing that I made a commitment to not work on some of those ongoing projects allows me to have less anxiety about projects I've neglected. It's a mental note that they are still on my general list, but not something to think about today. It also helps me stay focused and not get distracted with other projects or waste too much time context switching.
