hello,

I am not lazy at all but i am very disorganised and easily distracted, it is very frustrating. i can be self disciplined but when i am it's more because i am obsessed rather than actually wanting to do a certain task, i absolutley have to.

does anyone have any articles that they have found helpful about staying organised? i can be organised for very short periods of time, how do i extend it? please help i feel this is the final frontier.

I used Flylady with great success before I got pregnant with my 2nd son. Almost 7 years later, I'm starting over with her!

She talks about baby steps and sends out emails either individually or in digest form (I use digest). A lot of her mottoes are things about routines and that you can do anything if you just take 15 minutes at a time.

It helps keep me from getting overwhelmed. And I'm not even totally doing everything again yet. Just trying to keep my sink clean...

that's pretty interesting, it's very domestic though but it is good to be reminded that it is a constant struggle
