When I get overwhelmed about things and the stress of them...

I look at the due dates.

And then I do whichever one is due first.

No arguments with myself, and I stop making excuses. I just do it. I might want to curse and swear and quite and it might take me AGES. But at least I'm forcing my sorry butt through it.

Why not get a timer and set it for 10 minutes? 10 minutes of solid work, and if you drift off it'll bring your focus back. If you work that whole time, it'll be a few seconds of break while you reset it for the next 10 minutes. Or 15 minutes. But I wouldn't set it further than that because then you'd miss too much time when you drift off.
