My office is in chaos. Every single time I try to organize it, I get started and then I get distracted. I seem unable to stop myself from doing this. I feel like I don’t have the ability to manage my mind. This feels like the truth to me and I don’t know how to fix it. I stay a space of confusion, overwhelm, and procrastination. I’ve been this way for a long time and it’s never really bothered me that much but now that I’m studying to become a coach, I really need to get organized, focused, and super productive. I have tons of ideas every single day but feel that they are lost to inaction and indecision.

I’ll give an example of what happens to me when I set out to do something and this problem rears it’s ugly head: I had a client (free, practice) that I coached on Saturday. As we closed the session, I offered to send her some materials to read and worksheets to fill out for our next session. As I started looking at the options, my brain froze because there was too much information, and I literally jumped out of my chair and left my office. My house is clean, my dogs are played with, and husband is hugged and amused. But, my professional life is in chaos. Please help.
