Hi Seaswept, and welcome...everyone here has good ideas on how to get motivated. The one that works for me is to break everything down into bite size projects. So instead of cleaning the whole kitchen, I say I'll just empty the dishwasher. If I don't feel like doing more, then I don't feel guilty for quitting. Usually, tho, once I get started I feel more motivated.

I have a book (Life 101) that has really helped me (even before diagnosis)..in it they say, just do one thing. anything, but do something. Hope that helps!
