As said above. I am the queen of 'getting round to things' but never actually doing them. I can waste entire days thinking about what needs doing but never actually doing it

If you are efficient and just get on with things how do you do it? What is your thought process? What are you generally like?

One of the most efficient people I know has three kids, a mega-stressful job and is a part-time writer. She told me her secret: a MEGA LIST she created a few years ago (it took her a full week to do it and it listed every glitch, annoying must-get-round-to-it thing, task and snag in her entire house). Then she set about crossing off the list. She made the list in September and by December had done EVERY single thing on the list. Her life has flowed more smoothly ever since and she is a paragon of efficiency because she cleared out clutter so she wouldn't have to clear it away, put routines into place, fixed broken things she needed and chucked out anything that wasn't working. I have got as far as making The List... watch this space...
