Why Am I Overwhelming Myself?

I  had high hopes of getting a lot of stuff done this week that I was off from work.  I have managed to make some small changes, but so much more needs to be done.  Rather than sit here and beat myself up over that, I am trying to look at the positive - I DID manage to get some areas cleared out.  Like my weight, what is going on in the apartment did not happen overnight.  Furthermore, I take a great deal of pride in that I did not go out shopping unless it was something I really needed, like groceries.

Even though I really should not go, I am going to make an appointment and get a mani/pedi.  I really need one bad - it has been way too long and I want this to be the one thing I do for myself.

Otherwise, I contemplate why I overwhelm myself with so much to do?  My biggest problem with doing the cleaning has been my back.  After about an hour of bending and such, I get sharp pains in my back.  Neither Aleeve or Advil alleviate the pain, which frustrates me. 

I need to learn to slow down, break everything down in to individual tasks, and work on each one for a certain amount of time.  Even if it is not perfect, I will have succeeded in doing something and that is important.

Not sure why I cannot apply this type of thinking to other areas of my life other than work.
