I solved this by lowering the expectations of how much I'm going to do - I usually just say to myself, let's do 1-2 things today, where these things are well defined, small pieces of work. Sometimes I can finish and can take 1 more thing of the list, sometimes I do one thing, sometimes I need to break the task up because it's too large. But I make a bit of progress every day even it it's just a centimeter or two. It adds up and I'm less stressed.
