Im going to repeat my old saw again! :)
There are two good books Ill recommend.
One is Driven to Distraction about ADD.
The other is called Do What You Love, the Money Will Follow. The second one is not really about money but personal matters and finding out what works for you to get something done!Let us know what you think if you read them.
However you sound like me before I learned I had ADD!JohnD
> I know I'm lucky that I'm not particularly depressed at the moment. I get myself to work and function OK there, but at home I only to do the minimum. Some things I used to do as a regular routine I dont anymore, so its more of a decision to do them.

> My problems are:
> 1. How do I decide what I *have* to do? I'm particularly aware of this as this weekend I have been awake for a while in the mornings, but decided to stay in bed, gone back to sleep, and woken up at 2.45ish in the afternoon. Not sure if that *matters*... Or not washing the kitchen floor for weeks etc etc
> 2. How do I *make* myself do the things I need to? I just dont seem to have the willpower I used to. I do lots of encouraging/ bullying of myself, and imagine doing it; but often it gets me nowhere- the part of me on the 'receiving end' of this just shrugs it off.
