I clearly haven't cracked it @northAthenian as I can't name anything productive i have done since I posted. 30 minute bursts used to work, so I am going to go and do 30 minutes on the Snug and will then report back.

I hope that, having had a break from it, the decluttering will 'flow' a bit more easily and the decisions you need to make will be much clearer.

4 YEARS 10 MONTHS DEBT FREE!!! (24 OCT 2016)(With heartfelt thanks to those who have gone before us & their indubitable generosity.)...and now I have a mortgage! (23 AUG 2021)Original End Date - Sept 2041 *** New projection - Aug 2038 (reduced by 3 years & 1 month)4 -
oops, I went for half an hour and re-appeared a week later. There has been progress, and there should be a lot more this week as I have a friend coming to help me for a few days. I was also gifted some excellent storage boxes which will really help as I can pack stuff we will want but not right now away and stack them in the half empty garage.
I re-varnished the south facing wooden front door. It looks so much better as a result and cost nothing as I already owned all of the things. There are simple things like that that I can be doing if I can just find some motivation. I would rather find a job and pay somebody else to do it though.
Still going out cycling in between which helps my head a lot. My stamina and recovery is definitely improving but mostly it is about emptying my head of the annoying inner dialogue.
