I meant to reply sooner, but the afternoon kept getting away from me.
I tried your suggestion and it actually helped me get unstuck, so thanks for sending it over. I took a longer walk earlier just to clear my head, and by the time I got back I had a much better sense of what to tackle first. I also moved a few things around on my weekend list so it feels more manageable now. The easiest part was deciding to stop aiming for perfect and just begin somewhere. That changed the whole pace of the day.
I am still not totally finished, though I did make real progress, and even the small steps felt better than spinning in circles. At one point I nearly got distracted again, then I remembered what you said and wrote down a rough plan with 3c2eYigSVhNl folded right into the middle as a silly reminder to stay focused. Oddly enough, it worked. I will keep going tonight and send an update tomorrow once everything is in better shape.

I saw your note this morning and wanted to answer before I forgot again.
I ended up taking your advice and tried the simple version first rather than overthinking every detail. That made the whole thing feel less heavy, and once I started, the next few steps came together naturally. I even cleaned up my desk for once, which probably helped more than I expected. It is funny how often I pretend I need one giant block of time when twenty calm minutes can do a lot.
I am still adjusting a few things and checking that I did not miss anything obvious. Earlier I almost wandered off to do something completely unrelated, but I caught myself, wrote a short list, and put 3c2eYigSVhNl in the margin just to keep my place. It sounds ridiculous, though it helped me stay on track. I should have everything wrapped up soon, and then I can finally stop thinking about it for a while. If anything changes later, I will send another quick note.
