I say take the smallest bites possible out of any task that you decide to do. One thing that's helped me when my surroundings have felt overwhelming has been to set a timer for 15 minutes, and worked on tidying up just for that proscribed time, and no more.
Don't worry about a list just yet - I've been there too! There seems to be too many things to do to be able to chase them down onto a piece of paper. Just schnibble. 15 minutes. Then give yourself a break. Your 5-item trip to the store sounds doable, maybe?
Take care, Jammer!
