@Rob - good ideas but the bar thing would cause more work 
@Paul - I needed to set up my husband's checking and saving accounts online, but couldn't finish it because he wasn't here to give me his driver's license number. He doesn't have a cell phone so I couldn't call him at work). That's finally done, now that he's home.
I'm still waiting to get my stupid refund from the IRS. I can't pay bills until I get that money, which I was supposed to get last Friday. The bills are a worry for me because until they are paid, I'm going to be thinking about them.
I need to get my notes for school finished. So far, this last curriculum, we have 23 pages of notes. I have three curriculum's worth of notes to print out still, but haven't because my printer needs ink. I have the ink cartridge, but because the printer is sitting under a mound of papers, I keep putting it off.
Gotta get laundry started but can't because I have asthma and going up and down two flights of steps knocks the wind out of me. I have to rely on other people in this house to make sure the laundry gets down to the basement so I can start it, but I shouldn't have to ask all the time because they KNOW I have asthma and can't carry the baskets.
I still have dishes to wash.
I need to balance the check book and re-do the budget.
Simple things. Yes. Lots more simple things to add to this list is what is making things overwhelming.
That and I think my husband gave me his stomach virus.
