I had a similar experience (wrote about it here: https://blog.startopz.com/2019/02/21/the-downside-to-getting-things-done/ https://blog.startopz.com/2019/02/21/the-downside-to-getting...). I was looking at a to do list that I couldn't accomplish in a year. The biggest issue I had is not filtering what I put into my to do list. I was putting "ideas" or "to read/watch/review" in the same space as my "to dos". By throwing them all in the same bucket I would quickly feel overwhelmed by the amount of stuff I had to do. By separating ideas into Trello, to read being clipped into Evernote, and my tasks in Asana it significantly reduced the number of tasks I woke up to each day and reduced my stress level (which helped me focus better). Last year I even moved a lot of my tasks out of Asana and into a bullet journal. This has further helped reduce the number of tasks that I am looking at on any given day.
