I have a new look to my website
My sister, Mary, has redone my website. You'll have to check it out http://www.catherine.com She did an awesome job!! She put it together in a new program that allows me to go in and make changes to the site myself. It's so cool. But it has been a learning experience for both of us.
I don't know about you, but sometimes when I'm faced with a large project I have trouble breaking the task down into manageable parts. I want to do everything all at once. Lately, I've been working on my website instead of writing. Finding that balance is a challenge. I have to remind myself to stay focused. That everything doesn't have to be done at one.
So what do you do when when faced with an on going project that can be never ending? Any tips you have for breaking projects down into smaller parts? Can you go back and forth between projects or do you find yourself unable to shift focus until you've completed the whole project?

I have a confession…
I have a confession to make. I have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Once I realized this and began a treatment program, which included medicine and a great ADD coach, it changed my whole life.
I was the kid who never like to sit in class. My name was always on the board for talking. All my life I had a terrible time sitting through movies, workshops, and even church.
I never was able to organize my day to get everything done. I bought tons of books on getting organized, but none of them helped. I just was never able to get my act together. Things got done only when I was pressed by a looming deadline.
It never occurred to me that there was reason for my lack of focus. I just always thought it was because I was creative. Being in my head was like being at the multiplex with all the screens playing at once. I had a million ideas, but couldn't stay on one of them. It was beyond frustrating.
I would have gone on like this if it hadn't been for the discovery that my son had ADD. Although, he was totally different from me, we shared some of the same frustrating problems.
As we filled out his paperwork, I read that ADD runs in families. It made me wonder... What if there was help for me,too? Was it possible for someone in their forties to fix a lifelong problem? The answer is yes! You are never too old to change your life.
I hope by sharing my story that others will learn there is help and hope out there. If I can do it, you can do it.
