I have worked with hundreds of clients that are highly stressed and overwhelmed to the point that they are almost unable to function. They are trying to move in all different directions at the same time. If you apply the principle of First Things First and focus on making the main thing the main thing, you can often accomplish a lot. In a seven day week you may be able to solve at least seven major problems, which is a big deal. This is similar to the Atomic Habits where you make at least one manageable change every day or so. At the end of the week you have accomplished a great deal. Once you are successful with this discipline you will often see what behaviorist call a scatter effect. You realize you can demonstrate this discipline in other areas of your life! Take what you can use and leave the rest.
