IDK if this is helpful for you, but for myself, as long as I get one thing on my to-do list done, I consider that day a win, and I try not to be too hard on myself for letting things slip. It's really easy for me to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of things on my list, but by just taking things one at a time, I know I'll slowly get through it.

On a tangential note, care to share your pickled pepper recipe?
