Hey friend. It's tough out there, i agree. Try putting smaller goals in your list:

Got out of bed ✓
Daily hygienic needs ✓
Had a meal ✓
Hydrated ✓
Etc
Etc
Etc

Another silly trick i like is to have a working list, not a list with deadlines.
So I'll just have everything on my list and know that it's not all due.
Final trick is to not just have complete/incomplete. That's a lot of pressure!
Go for progress, instead. + for progress!

Mountain of dishes +
General messyness +
Put air in Jeep tire ✓
Call HVAC company

Don't forget to take breaks and do something you enjoy to recharge! Even if it's just laying in bed reading.
Also, it's okay to rot sometimes—you deserve rest. That's pretty much all i did last weekend was take it easy and chill, even though i planned to get shit done. I keep putting some of the shit i have to do off and you know what? It's okay. The world is not going to end because my house is messy and i have dishes in the sink.

Best wishes,
