Nisses, I've found in the past that when I have 15 things to do, I also get most done pretty timely and effectively, while the last take forever. Having those 15 things to do for a long period of time is really stressful, though.
Abava, I've also found that fear of other people perceiving me as not working hard enough and deadlines are strong motivators for me to do something (but not necessarily to do it well). That's also really stressful and it seems like many people I know can just get through whatever life throws at them as if it's another item to work through by habit and check off of the list. I guess I'm hoping that one day I can manage life smoothly on autopilot, with relatively little anxiety on my part. Is that hoping for too much?
