Help! I’m playing the blame & shame game

Tell me if this sounds familiar...

My to do list is miles long and yet most days those boxes do not get the gold star of completion, that elusive check mark that indicates that task is done. Most days I start with the best intentions, sometimes even the night before, the dialog in my head goes something like this… ok tomorrow I am going to get up really early (because that is when I do my best work and that is when the house is quiet of course). I set the alarm for bright and early thirty… then 3 am rolls around… I am wide awake thinking about that darn to do list and all the things I SHOULD be getting done.
