Get Everything Done

I’m new to Mark’s methods and am looking for advice on how to keep moving on my time management journey. I first created a long list of to do items. I tried autofocus by working from a single page looking for things that I feel are ready to be done, but I noticed that I felt a fair amount of anxiety that I might be missing something important on the other pages. So, I moved to simple scanning and now look through the entire list for things that stand out and then I apply the little and often approach. This has been so much more helpful than my previous method of continuously adding things to a master to do list (which I avoided looking at) and choosing what I wanted to do for each day. However, what I am finding is that I experience anxiety when I think about looking through my list every time I have open time, which can make me avoid looking at it. I also find that I struggle to hold in mind what was important from the beginning of the list by the time I get to the end of the list. I realize that I am supposed to avoid prioritizing with simple scanning, but I feel like I need a reasonable list of things to work on for the day so that I don’t have to go through my master list each time. Would using the 5/2 method be an appropriate thing to derive each day from my master list, or should I be thinking about this differently?
