I have not been able to make a list for a few years. Because seeing all the stuff on it (endless!) made me feel overwhelmed and stressed and hopeless and depressed. About 2 weeks ago I made my first "to do" list in years. I tried not to let it stress me out. And I did some of the stuff on it. My memory has gotten so bad that a list is very helpful to me in simply remembering what I have to do. It is nice to be able to check things off. I still have the problem though of not doing the most urgent and important things on the list in favor of lesser tasks (comfort tasks). Try as I might, it is so hard to not do that!

Up in the ADHD resources thread, someone recommended this book:
10 Simple Solutions to Adult ADD by Stephanie Moulton Sarkis
I got it at the library. It's very short and written in simple language (probably so it is as little effort as possible) and has some good tips. It is very practical and I need that now. There are chapters on reducing clutter, getting organized, managing time, how to stop losing things, etc. I'm finding some of the information quite helpful.
