I think you are on to something there. Many of us want it all and we want it NOW...just like we did with alcohol...instant gratification ( but then of course delayed pain and suffering ).
You can't do it all at once....maybe you could make some lists? Write down what you need to do and just do one thing at a time. Breaking things down into smaller chunks always helped me, and you also have the benefit of achieving many smaller goals in a row...which can improve your confidence and motivation when you look back at it.
