Well, I've been trying to change that in the last few weeks. I've had to re-arrange some of my schedules (as you know) to stay on a particular task until completed - which has been a challenge. I don't say "no" very easy. I've set hours that I'm at my desk, hours I work out of the house, set hours for personal time, get a full nights sleep every night. plus I've made the time to also do my daily bible study and exercise. Poof! I'm in a much better frame of mind and my piles are actually getting fewer and shorter. Of course, I had about 10 piles on the floor, 8 piles on my desk and 4 piles on top of the file cabinets - but some are dwindling. If I'm going to catch up, I had to make a change and MAKE myself catch up. No one else was going to do it for me.
