I love using lists. (It doesn't work for everyone but I find it really helpful when I feel myself getting a little overwhelmed). Getting it onto paper allows me to see it all visually.
I find Mondays particularly difficult like yourself. Whenever a new task, enquiry, etc. comes in, if it's a task I can do immediately, I complete it then and there however, if I know it'll take a little more time, I add it to the bottom of the list. For number one priorities (including things with tight deadlines), they go to the top - these depend on each individual circumstance.
I also try to remember that I am still human and tasks take time. If I don't complete everything in that day, I know that it'll still be there when I come in tomorrow.

I used to be a write it down person and leave myself little sticky notes and somehow throughout the week I would loose the sticky notes and completely forget all about it until something that cropped up to remind me and I realised I hadn’t done it, I felt so useless but I was my own worst enemy!

Quietly drown .. I start by scrapping tasks that are soooo overdue its not even worth attempting them anymore

Yeah I get that, it’s nice just getting rid of them, it then feels like I have much less on my plate to deal with.
