One tip is to break the task into smaller tasks.

For example, when I tidy up the house, my task isn't to tidy up the house. My task is to take this one object and put it where it belongs. Then I start on another task until I'm out of time or tasks.

Right, but then I get overwhelmed with this huge list of tasks!

You don't have a huge list of tasks. You have a single task, then you find another single task.

I like to explain it as function currying to computer savvy folks... your first task is to do the first chunk, your second and only remaining task is to create a new task to do next.

Uncurrying is the dual transformation to currying, and can be seen as a form of defunctionalization. It takes a function f whose return value is another function g, and yields a new function f' that takes as parameters the arguments for both f and g, and returns, as a result, the application of f and subsequently, g, to those arguments. The process can be iterated.

none of these words are in the bible

Oh, sorry, that's from the book of Mormon.
