I started a system sponsored by a website called Get Organized Now!, they have a weekly newsletter that I like to read. Point is, they have a lot of organizing techniques and I just follow the ones I like. One I like in particular is one that says you should make a to-do list (I mean a big to-do list with <>all<> of your to-dos) and do at least 3 things every day. 3 doesn't sound like a bad number, does it? Sometimes I end up preparing and mailing off 3 separate bills, which is kind of cheating but give me some slack, but it makes me feel accomplished :D. So I hope your procrastination subsides, at least so you can be as productive as you might like to be. But who knows, I almost never do anything I am supposed to do either.
