Getting overwhelmed by tasks - Advice needed

Hello everyone!

This Semester I am doing my bachelors degree in design. 
I am working on a Poster that shows the influence of digital media on children. 
At the moment I struggle a lot with getting overwhelmed by all the things I need to do. I just don’t know where to start though I know what to do and I already broke this big thing down into smaller steps. 

I wanted to ask you, what you are doing if you deal with similar problems. What can someone do to not get overwhelmed so easily? 
How can someone stay calm?
My Brain always tends to run down every step I need to do and tries to do all at once. I guess because of the fear of forgetting something.
In addition it keeps making things like buying groceries or just basic human tasks a lot more draining. It feels like I am barely functioning and I am embarrassed about that... 

(I also have some anxiety around being not good enough, if you have tips for that also that would be much appreciated!) 

Thank you for reading and for your help!

  • there comes a point you just have to have faith in your organisation and start doing.

    do sessions of 1 hour and maybe then 2 hours and if you get in the flow keep going 

    stop for a break every 4 hours.

    just focus on one task at a time do not look at the overall plan. only look at the overall plan at end of day to see how to adjust your speed.
