looking for an English idiom

Hi, somebody help me, please.

Is there an idiom in English that suggests:
"I have so many things to do that I don't know what to do first"?

In Slovak we have idioms that could be translated into English as:
"I don't know where my head is standing" or
"I don't know where to jump first".

Do these idioms also exist in English? And if not, what idioms do you use instead? Thanks
(I am new here..I might have posted this question twice.. sorry for that)

Welcome to the forum!

We don't use those idioms in English.

The most common way to say it is: "I don't know where to begin."

To say that you have too many things to do, an idiom could be "I'm drowning in (errands/paperwork/etc.)"
