Sol,
I find making lists and then working through them helps. The important thing is
not to take on too much at once. Be realistic: it must be manageable. First,
think of absolutely everything you'd like to accomplish and make a list. Then
prioritize, what's absolutely neccessary and and can be practicably done and
what's just wishful thinking you'll never be able to accomplish.
Then make a list of tasks by priority. I also have problems getting things
done, I find that having realistic goals helps, then you can attack the work
with a reasonable confidence it will get done. I'm never able to do everything
on a list of tasks, but I do find this strategy helps to get somethings done,
and some is a bigger number than none. My problem is after I've gone through a
phase of working through a task list, I'm not sure where to start again.
Hope this helps,
Reed
