Make a list of everything you want to do. List everything. Then, sort it by priority. Cross off everything but #1.

I second the habit of making lists. This is my approach:

1. Make lists.

2. Make checklists.

PS: These two are different, and you need both. The first to bring clarity, and the second to make plans actionable by breaking down a goal into tasks.
