Now that I'm living in another country and have left home for the first time, I am discovering more of my difficulty with organising myself.

It's hard to explain, but each day by day, I don't know what I am doing. It's not helped by the fact that I don't know what I'm doing in life, but it's more simply. For example, I might plan to do something for a certain length of time and forget I need to eat some time then. Or I will dedicate a day to one thing, and never get round to it. Or sometimes, I do nothing all day because I can't decide which thing to do. It gets way more complicated when I have to think about where I'm going, what I must take, where I can go, where I can't go, how long things will take.

Does anyone else have this problem? The other thing is I often don't know what I want to do, either. So then I start thinking about what other people would think I should be doing.

Sounds like you're suffering from executive dysfunction.

We recently discussed some strategies for dealing with it here;
