I would make a checklist of everything I need to do, broken down to small tasks.
I will start with the simplest tasks, checking them off one at a time, and make plans on finishing the rest.

This is quite a common problem so never feel alone in these situations. Depending on what you are doing becoming overwhelmed is totally understandable. If this involves school I recommend talking to your academic support center to potentially give you pointers on how to study well. Just try your best and always look forward. That is all you can do. I wish you the best in the future.

Organize your work. If you can, read over your to-do list and identify the level of importance and difficulty. Move from more important & less difficult items to less important & more difficult ones. Don't leave an item unattended unless you have no immediate solution.

You can try writing yourself a to-do list or you could try breaking it down into smaller chunks of what you need to do. Don't procrastinate, as that will make it harder for you in the end. You could also use a planner to write down what you need to get done each day. Make sure to set a certain time each day to get this done, that way you are less likely to procrastinate or become overwhelmed by everything you are supposed to do. One last tip I can give you is that if you get too overwhelmed, take some time to calm down and relax.

Personally, I have found that taking time to create a schedule or some sort of a physical list, can really clear my mind and reduce getting overwhelmed about 70%. Writing when you need to accomplish each separate task, how long you think it will take and mapping out a plan of action can really help clarify what is most important and may help you finish your tasks before you know it. If you still feel overwhelmed after making a plan of action, perhaps take some time to do something relaxing such as meditating, coloring, yoga, working out or anything else that has helped you clear your mind in the past.

Take an emotional time out.. Exercise.. Breathe deeply,Be mindfully thankful. Phone a friend. Pray or meditate. Procrastinate - It's amazing how your subconscious can solve problems for you when you ignore them for a bit. Delegate. Talk things over with your significant other. Write stuff down. Take a nap. Map your progress. Drink (water). Turn stuff down. Accomplish something different-Sometimes procrastination strategies can actually be long-term productive.
Clean things up. Clearing your living and working spaces has a profound calming effect. Take a few minutes to straighten up something that's bothering you, and you might see things in a whole new light.
