I'm a late starter on this one & there was too much choice (this, no that, no ..)

I also finally somehow realised that I had to not only tidy up my workspace,
but make a place for everything
- even if its as Mark Forster says a "Backlog" tray/box whatever. (I'm coming from a dark & very disorganised place ..)

Anyways,
I've just read he highly recommends using the "current initiative" idea for clearing a backlog (of anything - even debt ! ),
so I have a box of stuff to be filed/sorted,
which I now officially declare "Backlog" and also "Closed" (nothing can be added).

Now I start on that first thing tomorrow morning 

good luck then, tomos.

cheers!
