I'm currently working on building a few habits. I am starting small. The tasks themselves, I complete with ease and with little resistance. My problem is that I feel stressed out all the time between tasks (and while doing them, because I feel the need to rush). I can't relax until I've done them all. It's not a lot and it's nothing I can't handle. I don't want to do them all at once and instead prefer to do them throughout the day, but the stress ruins all the joy of doing them.

I think this may be, in part, due to tracking? In the past whenever I have tried to use habit trackers (or just noting it down in a diary) I have felt stressed out significantly more than without. But without trackers (or tracking in general) I can't make significant improvements in my life.

I find myself caught between the devil and the deep blue sea; either I give up on improving my life, or I live stressed out 24/7 (which is exhausting and will lead to burnout so it's not feasible).

I tried to cope by breathing, mindfulness, meditation, remind myself it's ok even if I don't finish everything or don't be productive all day, but I still feel stressed.
