When everything breaks at once, fix the smallest thing first. Momentum starts tiny.

Everything breaking at once produces paralysis, because the mind tries to solve the whole pile in a single move. Starting small feels like it cannot possibly matter, and it works anyway, since finishing something changes your state more than the size of it does. One completed task turns you from a person being acted on into a person acting. Order matters far less than starting.

Find the smallest repairable thing in front of you and finish it completely. Dishes, one email, one form. Then take the next smallest, and let momentum do what a plan cannot.
