Feel like I'm never caught up (piefed.blahaj.zone)

I'm trying to learn more about the feeling that I'm not doing something right and that my priorities are wrong because I'm not considering the full picture.

It feels like I have something I need to do, but I don't know what it is, but it's gonna bite me in the ass when I realize it.

Do you all have any techniques or ways of thinking that help you evaluate where you actually stand in terms of doing all the things you need to do?

How do you go through your life and re-priorotize?

How do you feel confident in thinking I don't have to do anything right now? I can just rest or do what I want?

I've given up on being caught up. If I am in a super clear minded state, I will do the most important thing. If I'm motivated but not clear-headed, I do anything that feels important. If I'm in a normal state of mind, I just do the core tasks for keeping the show running: I do my job, I make food, I browse Lemmy. And I pray that I haven't procrastinated anything too important.

That gives me so much anxiety, being in that current state and feeling like I forgot something.
