"I don't want to go among mad people..."

I would like to interject that I am embarking on this journey of self discovery and improvement whilst I am home on paternity leave with my three year old and my one and a half year old sons. The youngest is sitting beside me as I type... spitting on my sleek Macbook Pro keyboard in order to get my attention.
His older brother, the three year old, is playing dj by starting and restarting Your Wife is Calling by punk legend  Lee Ving over and over again. 1234, 1234. 1234,1234..ad infinitum.
I am not making excuses just providing context,
   and not for you, but for me.
I saw this today and it made me think.

I have been struggling with how slowly change seems to be taking place.
I am perpetually frustrated by this.
Case in point: I have been reading Four Weeks to an Organized Life for the better part of two weeks now and have only successfully completed three days of the program...
this frustrates and disappoints me.
I get frustrated and disappointed in myself.
so...kindsight.
progress is slow
and so I will chip away at the rock of myself to reveal the me underneath..
but I wont do it alone. I can't. I have tried. I have failed. I have beaten myself up about it.
so what i have learned?

I have learned that I cant do this alone...I get too distracted.
(Ba-dum-tiss)

And so I have joined Attention, a study group of sorts here in Karlstad that focuses on ADHD issues of all shapes and sizes. I am looking for a support group.
I have also contacted Andrea from the fantastic blog The Art of ADD. Andrea works as a life coach. I am not certain what this means per say but I know that it means some sort of support.

Today's goals:
Create a week schedule version 1.0
Chip away at my new office space for twenty minutes
Update the blog. yay!
