Papermoon,
I can relate. I went through a long period of avoidance. Unfortunately, I spent that time loading a shopping cart at the Goodwill Superstore, browsing for more things that might make me happy with my home.
Don't be too hard on yourself. Escaping the chaos at home might be something you need to do to stay sane. Perhaps you can do it in planned, productive ways in small amounts?
Razy,
You too! Please Don't push yourself to the point of burn-out.
Today, I am setting my timer for 15 minutes at a time. Been "goofing off" so far, but I at least have kept my eye on the clock.
TO-DOs:
Fold clean clothing explosion. Tidy kitchen. Tidy my stuff from yesterday, gather my stuff for today.
(Mammogram and Singing class later in the day.)
TA-DA's: Ignored urge to snuggle beneath covers. Huddled wrapped in a blanket on couch, web surfing about gardening topics. Sent email to a gardening celebrity.
Dressed.
Made bed.
Added bus times for mammogram appointment to my calendar.

Freaking out a little bit over where my time and attention is going. But still over an hour before I need to leave.
I don't know how my timer keeps turn8ng off, and my green tea is now very bitter.

Clean up houseplant mess I made.
TA-DA's:
Changed water on plant cuttings in water.
Replanted some cuttings I had tripped over, watered those too.
Looked at asparagus fern seeds, they were dried out. Pur them in a different jar with lid, added water and perliye, and hope for the best.
Added a jar and small plant clippers to my backpack, so I have a way and a safe place for cuttings I scavenge. (Note: clippers are NOT for taking cuttings. I only take pieces already broken.)
Put away some class materials from yesterday.
Submitted song list to print at UPS store.
Corrected my commute information for mammogram.

I am so glad this thread is still here. I am just jumping back in after very long absence from boards. I have one disgusting task to tackle right now and I'm breaking it in three parts. The avoidance and procrastination has been strong. For a long time. There's backstory but I just want to get in and do this.
To do: Clean up kat krap 1)in dining room (not currently used as dining room) 2) upstairs hallway 3)litter box area
Going to set timer, coming back to report when done and get more To-do's going. I am going to estimate that I can get it done pretty quickly but I have built it up into this overwhelming, impossible task in my head.
