Whenever I am overwhelmed by a task and don't know where to start, I think of one of my favorite pieces of advice. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time! It reminds me that even the most daunting tasks can be accomplished if they are broken into small tasks. When I was in school, instead of freaking out about writing a paper, I would chunk it out into the steps to research, outline, draft and edit the paper. It seems simple, but for me made a big difference.
