Sort of related to this, what works for me (more often than not) is writing down one task I need to do, and focus on that. I've conjured up a quick tool for myself where I can write down the task and complete it once it's done.

I call it the one item todo list. Keeps me from being overwhelmed with all the complexity that surrounds the goal I want to achieve. I know if I just focus on this one thing, I'll be one step closer.
