Yesterday I did not allow myself to take a nap.

I got out of the house. Ran a few errands. Enjoyed listening to a motivational CD while driving. Stopped and looked at a new gym less than 5 minutes from my house (only $20 per month -- might join).

Stopped at two coffee shops with wi-fi at different times of the day to check in with clients and see if there was any work to be done. Took care of the work and played online before making myself get out and about again.

I was away from the house from noon until about 7:00 p.m.

That's good because I wasn't sitting in the clutter thinking about what I "should" be doing and feeling bad about it.

That's bad because I wasn't sitting in one spot, focused on something.

Thanks for all of the advice about breaking the "to do list" into smaller chunks.

I guess part of my problem is looking at the master to do list and not being able to move stuff over to a smaller list. I'm seeing the whole big list and it seems like I'll never get it done.

Meanwhile, there are smaller bites that I should be taking in order to bring in more business, and it's like I am a rebellious teenager, telling myself I just won't do it.
