TIL: there are randoms in the world who feel the exact what I feel, on daily basis for past three or four years.
It is frustrating. One recent mindset change I have adopted that reduces the feeling of overwhelming is:
1. Say it out loud, "I have plenty of time" and breathe deeply
2. "I have to work within constraint for which I do not have control of"
3. Can things be a lot more worse then they are? Fortunately, the answer to this has been 100% yes. Things can be worse in terms of developing complicated medical condition to family complication.
4. There always be be 'noise', work on reducing it and accept the 'distractions' are noise. Since distraction is noise, ignore it instead of giving into it.

The older I get, the less this is true, but the less I stress about it. There’s a great many things I’ll be able to accomplish, but never everything that I would want to. And that is fine.
