hey PL
I wasn't sure it was going to 'take' either when I first got here, so I wrote everything down - it helped both at the time in a cathartic way, and again later at the times I started to rationalise again...it worked
As for never getting around to stuff - me too. I'd like to say I'm cured but ask my partner LOL...
I do deal with the important things now tho...prioritising just what is important and then dealing with everything in little steps really was the way for me.
