Honestly? I write a list. Then I can look at everything and work out where I prioritize everything. And then, sometimes, rewrite the list based on the priorities.
Or, sometimes, I just decide to do nothing at all. Which is, yanno, not the best idea ever.
Make a list of what I have to do and when it has to be done. If there are things that have to get done today, do them first. Otherwise, just pick something and do it.
I make a list, put on a pot of tea, and then end up doing something like writing Trinity/Niobe before I actually get to anything on the list. But then I feel a whole lot less overwhelmed, because I allowed myself something fun first.
listy list. and then just pick something on it and do that. usually the thing that's easiest and requires the least complicated thought so as not to get immersed in a quagmire of the first thing I try to do.
or I constantly refresh lj for an hour and read bad fic, but that's the less helpful - if more often employed - method. *g*
