1) Make a list of what must be done
2) Make a grid with 4 squares
3) on the left side write "Impact on my plans if not done" - least impact at the bottom, most impact at the top
4) on the bottom write "Impact on my anxiety if not done" - least impact on the left, most impact on the right
5) plot the items from your list into the squares
6) Now you can see it - a set of things in the upper right box that will have the most impact on your plans if you procrastinate, and once done will relieve anxiety.
7) You can also work on the things in the upper left box and lower right box.
8) Items in the lower left box are the lowest priority, leave them until last or get someone else to do them for you!
