I totally procrastinate if something seems like a huge endeavor until I break it down into small steps. Then I can take each step at a time and feel as if I am making progress. So the update on my book is progressing in that fashion. Hooray! Sharon, my process is similar. I totally procrastinate if something seems like a huge endeavor until I break it down into small steps.

I was even hearing how studies of multitasking were proving that people were not effective in any of the endeavors, and that was clearly me... Then I remembered that I was high on organizing skills when I took the ID training, and was surprised to find that I was approaching my book all wrong, for me… kind of like an amorphous blog that I would just go in here or there and try to fix whatever. Once I sat down, and identified all the steps, and started doing them chapter by chapter… taking best practices from each one and making sure they show up in all of the chapters, it started moving along… but most of all I was calmer. I am still distracted by multi-tasking and the everyday intrusions that I had learned to live with, but slowly things are changing. ...
