Are you a planner?  A list maker?  Your mind is already in organizing mode. I’m a bit OCD and used to find myself adding to a list just for the satisfaction of crossing it off!  Hard to admit, but true.  Batch and schedule tasks.  Set a time each day for phone calls or emails and stick to that time frame.  If you still work with paper filing, file documents all at once at the end of each day. Set aside a few minutes for meditation or thinking.  When arriving home from work or shopping, put your “stuff” away before you start another task like dinner or homework help. If you schedule these things into your day, you will stick to it and none of these tasks will become un-doable.
