Starting a thread for anyone feeling they just don't know what to do next, where to start
The idea is you set a timer, the time can be for whatever you feel you can manage. Even setting a timer and doing something for 5 minutes you will be amazed at how much you can get done in that time. Don't think too hard beforehand what you will do, just look around and pick an area that needs work and start. I suggest not setting for more than 20 minutes at a time as you don't want to get burnt out. Two lots of 20 minutes with a short 10 minute break in between is better than 40 minutes all at once.
Post how long you intend to set your timer. Then come back once your time is complete and tell us what you achieved.
You could also post a treat you will give yourself after your time is up if you feel this will help with the motivation (can be anything, browse the internet, watch a TV show, have some chocolate etc)
Ready? Lets Go............
