I was especially frustrated by not getting as much done each day as I hoped when I was teaching. My school nurse gave me some great advice. Her responsibilities were perhaps even more overwhelming and interrupted than mine as a teacher. She said that she would pick one task or duty that she had to do each day. Then, if she she managed that, she told herself she had a great day. I started doing that and felt better. I've learned to double the time I initially estimate for a job. But I still wake up most mornings believing I can move mountains.
