Throw things away if they are no longer needed. Take notes, read, gather useful information, reflect, do not procrastinate

Be proactive - stagger periodic tasks so they don’t overwhelm you all at once. Make checklists of repeated tasks, so you don’t have to think about them. Routines are good for your mental and physical well-being.
