make a to do list and number their importance? There's a four part quadrant I made as part of a stress management technique. Quadrant A, quadrant B, C and D. Quadrant A are things that are very important and very urgent. Things you MUST do right now. Things of urgency because you've put it off to the very last minute. Quadrant B are things that are important, but not urgent. You have some leisure time with this stuff to do it in a comfortable pace. Quadrant C are things that AREN'T important, but "urgent" (to you)... things like you *have* to call your friend back, or write so and so an email, check tfp, etc. Things that you could really put aside but feel like you HAVE to do now, and end up losing 20 or more minutes. Quadrant D is unimportant and not urgent. Relaxing things that don't really matter or help out at all towards the things that have to be done (like watching tv).
Anyway, consider this when you make a to-do list and think of where everything would fit in.
Also, I'd start with the easier things first because that seems like a good way to at least get started on something. And it's ok to take short breaks, as long as they're SHORT (15-20 minutes) so you get back on task. Short breaks actually help as long as you don't get completely distracted and carried away for hours
