The end result

OK friends, here's a question for you. Ready?

Here's another: Have you ever had something (or a list of things) to do, know you have to do them sooner or later and not have the energy or desire to do them?

You're a liar if you said NO.

This my friends is called P R O C R A S T I N A T I O N!

And I seem to have it in spades. How or why did I get this way? I couldn't begin to tell you. It doesn't help that I was diagnosed at one time with ADD. It doesn't help that here at home there are soooo many distractions which keep me from doing the things that I know I need to do.

I know that I need to stop being distracted as easily, but that is a tremendous uphill battle. Most of the time I feel like I'm taking one step forward and two steps backward.

Have you ever heard of Stenderup's Law? It says that "the sooner you fall behind, the more time you will have to catch up." That seems to be the story of my life.

It's gotten so bad that I think my life is in a holding pattern, if you know what I mean. I know what I need to do in order to move my life along to the next level, to the next set of challenges but somehow am perpetually and continually stuck in the mud.

How many of you are familiar with the story of Jonah? Well folks, in a way you could say that I'm stuck right now in the belly of the whale. Now how do I get out?

So I'm looking for how you deal with this problem in your own life and what helps you to overcome it? What helps you to climb the mountain?
