I've recently fixed this problem for myself by making an upcoming project timeline. I don't always stick to it, but giving myself the space to do this THEN that allows my brain to pick one thing first.

One of the rules for my "soon" list is that I try to choose projects/tasks that take 1-4 days. This forces me to make decisions in a context where I see my short-term and long-term projects all in one place.

You may also need to think about what matters to you. What is your end goal? What impact do you want to make on the world? What is the minimum amount of money you need to be happy? Ask some hard questions and work backwards from there.

If thinking about what you want is too hard, consider making an "unbucket list" (credit to Warren Buffet):

1. write down 25 goals

2. circle the top 5 items

3. the remaining 20 goals are your “avoid-at-all-costs list”
