When life piles up, I try not to look at the whole mountain. I ask what the next right thing is, and I do only that.
It might be answering one email, making one call, or putting one load of laundry in. It is almost never big.
The trick is that doing the next right thing gives you a tiny bit of momentum. Then the next one is a little easier.
You are not behind. You are one step away from feeling better about today. Take that step.
