I've just made a huge life Leap -- quit my corporate news media job after five years of talking about doing so, made plans to travel and then head overseas for about six months, and now --

holy crap! I've got to dismantle my apartment, find a home for my cat, manage about a billion "paperwork details," say farewells to loved ones, and oh yeah -- start a new income-generating business so my savings don't run out!

I am totally overwhelmed and hiding in e-mails, reading online articles and playing solitaire or chess. Any ideas out there for keeping ADD in check and making small steps toward progress when it feels impossible? I could really use the help of a friend who could just sit with me while I do tasks, and my experience has been that friends instead become distractions...

Delight "eek!"
