You learned how to nag at the Master's feet Let's see how well you've understood your lessons

All along it has been food. I have an addiction to it. I have an eating disorder. But now I realize it is much more fundamental.

I am addicited to doing nothing.

I relish it.
What I do is, I constantly think of ways to do the things that I should be doing. Mostly, I don't actually DO the things that I should be doing; even though I have a complete set of finely interconnected thoughts about how to go about doing these things that I should be doing.
I'm 56. I have to get off my butt and just do them.
Encourage me, please.

Well, I just got home right now and I'm watching New Jack City on tv. The best advice I can give you is GON'T BE POOKIE! Pookie (Chris Rock) is a crack addict. He turns snitch on Nino, the drug lord (Wesley Snipes). He get's killed. Hardcore. With many many an edge. One of the best lines I've ever heard is "sit your $5 ass down before I make change." Don't be Pookie. Don't do crack and turn snitch. You'll end up dead.

Hm. Are you really addicted to doing nothing? Or are you addicted to planning? Or does acting on your plans make you anxious or bored or what? A lot of activities, I've found, are harder to get started on than they are to keep doing, once started.

If anxiety is a problem, make a date on the first day to spend just fifteen minutes on a task, then in the days that follow, slowly ramp up the time--but never feel bad if you drop back to fifteen minutes again, at any point. The key is never to miss a day.
