    Remember the first thing on the list is Make List, so you can tick one thing off straight away.

    Ticking things off a list has been shown to release dopamine, giving pleasure and a sense of achievement. I agree the first thing should be 'Make a List' :D.

    It also helps to clarify thoughts, remind you which option you chose for things - e.g Contact Debt Company 1, offer 35%. That will provide a quick reminder Two days later when you can't quite remember what you decided. Of is that just me........ :o
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
