One Simple Strategy to Overcome Feeling Overwhelmed with Massive Todo List

How often have you felt completely overwhelmed by the daunting massive TODO list in front of you ? As an Indie Hacker this happens to me a lot.

Using the below simple strategy I have managed to learn SwiftUI, NextJS, Tailwind, ship a website, watchOS app and do social media marketing in 3 months while working on my 9-5 software job without getting burnt out.

Here goes the one strategy which has always worked beautifully well for me in overcoming feeling of overwhelm.

Have a "ONE THING" column in Asana, Notion or any other free project
management Software . This column will have one single micro task. Once that task is done I will move it to Done column. At any given time I am allowed to think, worry and work on only single micro task one single task. This helps me to stop worrying about other tasks in my todo list and deliver high quality output on one single task.

The idea behind this strategy was inspired by the book "The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth About Extraordinary Results" by Gary Keller
