I have set a 5 year goal for my self, I am in the second year of the 5 year goal. If you can set some goals, and a time limit for achieving the goal, it could help. Good luck
Maybe that's the key. I need to set myself some goals, plan my day in order of things to do and spend time on. Then knuckle down and do them. Used to do that when I was selling and managing. My desk had my tasks list in front of me, neatly typed out.

Thanks for the idea.
