I am working in a huge project now that has consumed alot of time.  Was interrupted last week due to a huge meeting.  I make a list of the tasks that need to be accomplished and check off what I have done.  Consolidating the data is the hardest since none of the sheets have been submitted on the template I provided and the calculations are not right.  I have to go into every line and breakout two separate pieces of data in order to provide separate totals for each, then enter the data into the correct format.  It's not just a copy paste since the formats are different.    Anyway, I know exactly where you are coming from.  I found that if before I stop I make a note on my master sheet where I am and where I need to pick up, it is less confusing.  Fortunately, this is a one time project and will be over soon.  Needless to day, it has been confusng and I have spent hours pouring over the data.  My boss and I are planning to sit down tomorrow and review so he can see where I am with this.  When you are overwhelmed and feeling disorganized, best to step back, take a deep breath or two, and organize things.  It saves time and frustration in the long run.
