Opening them feels daunting the minute they come, and the longer I put them off due to that, the more guilt gets added to the mix too, so they just go unadressed.

Has anyone found a strategy that works for this?

    The only way I can break the cycle is by diving in and clearing backlog periodically. Then realizing it wasn’t half as difficult to tackle them as I’d imagined. Then the cycle begins again. With it, the sense of guilt and dread.
