Dora_Long....
What a great way to manage. I'm going to pick up on some of your ideas. Thanks. One thing I've learned to do like you is mix up my work into small time slots. Do a little of this and a little of that but with clearly determined beginnings and ends. I really like your idea of different zones because I can still have a hard time transitioning from one task to another if I stay in the same space.

I do a lot of things that I've trained myself to do in a kind of 'auto-pilot'. Routines I don't break so that I don't think about them but rather just do them automatically. Then it doesn't matter if my mind wanders off in another direction. I'm in auto-pilot so my mind is free to go where it wants.

I became a pretty organized person because I could never remember where anything was. Now everything has its homebase but the problem I face is a compulsion to reorganize again and again. I get bored with things being in the same place or furniture set up the same way for more than a month at a time. I'm always rearranging my office and other rooms in the house.

Some of the compulsion to move things around comes from wanting/needing to feed my tendancy to procrastinate if I'm not letting myself dive into a project for hours and days at a time. I still struggle to balance a healthy work day. Still a struggle to start and stop when its something I really want to get my head into. I also know that I like touching things, feeling the different textures and shapes.

I so appreciate Dora_Long the focus on behavioural changes in the advise you shared. Like so much of wellness management it really does come down to how one behaves their way to a better life. The choices and changes one makes as they learn more about the challenges they face.

Understanding the best course of treatment always starts with good habits and routines that contribute to rather than contaminate our health and wellness. Learning to discern one from another has been an important part of my overall wellness efforts.

Good advise and ideas everyone... thanks...
