Hi nowme,
IMHO; What you're going thru is pretty common. ( leaving projects part-way through)
Upcoming court dates always had a way of driving my anxiety way up,
........and my attention span way down.
One thing that helped me , (getting stuff done) was not to define a short term goal as in completing a project, but set up a goal of " I'm going to work on this for ; say, 2 hours "
I may finish it today, maybe not.
That way, I wasn't dissappointed if the project took longer, since I'd achieved the "time " goal.
if you're anything like me, tv can be a huge distraction.
Good luck in court tomorrow !
