I love your list. For the record I have a mild form of ADD, as a child I lived in my own dream world, so much so that I was tested for deafness. It's called hyper focus these days, and gives me the enormous ability to concentrate and learn but it can make me distant and introspective. I see my ADD as a positive and I have moved down the spectrum as I have become older and tackled it.

It is probably appropriate to list the full list of spectrum of changes that you want to make and put them in order of ease of achievement. Hardest at the top and easiest and those part achieved and most fun near the bottom. Pick some items from the bottom of the list as well as a biggie from the top to tackle first. Break each down to action steps and revise revise revise. When achieved cross goals off. I always add new ones and excel can reorder these with formulas. I never remove achieved items just move them to a list of achieved as I may want to review and put them back, it also makes them easier to see my achievement.

If you know excel well and I guess you may do, you can use the tree to expend your list. I have a goal app on my iPad together with a mind mapping app too which helps me identify my next steps. One of my new goals is to attend the essential experience workshop so I have a savings goal for that, plus a preparation goal, plus I will add a holiday and travel to it etc.....
I will try and add a small easy achievable step first. Such as obtaining the dates and then knowing cost etc. I can hide rows on excel and also put hyperlinks in. I did try with one note but it was too distracting I prefer my ordered lists. I can tell from your posts that's your preference. As much detail as possible too. Nerd, you betcha, super nerd territory even. I switch from my iPad to my windows laptop using a programme called neem. This means I can carry my goals with me but do the work on my laptop.

One of my current transitory goals ( I hope) is my teeth which is almost at the top of my list. This includes a stopping this happening again section.

Dancing is a good idea as it is an activity which links right and left brain, plus it's fun and healthy. It will also help refocus, for guys the learning leading in the dance is helpful too.
