  • Hi,

    So this is where you all disappeared off to! :D Hope you don't mind me joining you again, I drifted in and out of the old thread for a while but I'm determined to step on a regular basis now as it made such a difference in terms of what I got done. Like fairyclicks, I also suffer from depression and find it very hard to motivate myself to get tasks done. I find breaking the tasks into little bits works so well which is why I really love the process of stepping even if I sometimes find the steps themselves quite a challenge. So, in short, I'm going to try it again.

    So, my list for this year. By the end of this year, I want to have managed the following:

    Return to my current job again (I've been off sick owing to my depression for a while now).
    Build up a regular customer base for my eco friendly products business.
    Earn enough from said business (min £1000 profit p/m for at least 3 months) that I can give up my current job and work on that business full time.
    Pay off all c/c debt.
    Have an uncluttered flat.

    I think that'll do for now. I'll start my stepping list from tomorrow although I've made progress on those goals over the last two days by listing 11 items on Ebay. :) Anyway, I'd better go get an early night. I've got a productive day ahead of me tomorrow.
