Thanks for the helpful list. I agree with you, especially about procrastination, which is caused by all the others: disorder, gremlins, fear of failure, tolerance.
I laughed about “surfing the web,” as that is what I was doing when I found your list, surfing rather than writing my blog. So, perhaps, good things can come out of a bit of procrastinating. Off to do what I promised myself to do.

Another thing to say “no” to — requests from friends, people you love, and/or great causes — even if you’d really love to help — when saying “yes” would send you into overcommitment.

Thanks for your comments. I must admit I’m with you on the “clutter” thing. Still some way to go on the piles of paper on my desk!

I need to learn to say “no” more to avoid feeling overwhelmed, and I definitely need to say no to clutter! I just don’t have time to clean! :-)

Your first two items really grabbed my attention: saying NO to clutter and worry. Now if I could only stop worrying about what to do with all that clutter. lol – you made my day!
