thanks Cat! I remember when I was a kid and my mom would try to get me to clean up my room and she would say - just do it for 5 minutes. Set your alarm clock to ring in 5 minutes, but you HAVE to work for a solid 5 minutes. When the alarm clock rings you can decide if you want to do another 5 or stop. Usually after 5 minutes I'd hit the snooze button and keep on cleaning as I'd be 1/2 way there. My room would be done in 10-15 minutes. I should try that trick again. She also used to say, start on the door and work your way in. Take care of everything in your path. YOur advice about beginning in a corner reminded me of that.

90% attitude. 10% action. Looking forward to making some changes.
