Therapy could help...it can't hurt!

I have the same problem with work things. Even if I have a deadline and the project requires data entry (deadly boring!), I'll put it off and put it off until holy crap! It's due tomorrow!!!

I've found that making short to-do lists help keep me on task. Try making a list of only 2-3 items that need to be done like:

1. Gather materials for English paper
2. Organize materials
3. Create outline for paper

Don't try to overload yourself with 5, 10, 15 items. You'll get resentful. Trust me. As you cross off an item you'll have a sense of accomplishment. I even do this for housework (barf).

I find carrying an appointment book keeps me semi-organized. I got a Harry Potter calendar that shows me a week at a time. I have appts for doctor visits, work meetings, school functions, etc. It's not fancy and I only paid $8.00 for it. I tried one of those fancy Covey planners with each day mapped out to the hour...beautiful lipstick red leather, pretty floral paper, and I used it for 1 1/2 weeks. It was too much to process.
