Think whole house, clean one wall

I easily get overwhelmed and projects get left unfinished. I find myself expending time and energy on inconsequential activities. I must gently return myself to the goals on the list, and keep myself motivated and focused on finishing. And when the inevitable setbacks come, I must process my discouragement in a healthy and effective way, then return to the task at hand. The possessions of my life are in ill repair and disarray, and the outward condition reflects an inward state. So I go now to tune mind and body by scrubbing walls with dreams of finishing the whole house, but getting one wall done now.
