I Want To See:
A paradigm shift in the way people live and what they expect in others. people need to understand that making the world a better place for other people makes it a better place for you.
Earthships and similar structures mandated for all new construction, and renewable energy sources developed on a massive scale.
Also, R. A. Lafferty's Fourth Mansions made into a major motion picture.
I'd really like for someone to conclusively find out if there is a God or some other supernatural or natural entity responsible for us being here self aware and with our level of developed intelligence. I'd like to know why we are here. If there is a reason, I'd like to see us find out what it is, and actually work towards that.
Hobbies:
I like to build, design, and play guitars, also play harmonica, hand percussion, sing. I like to keep up on new materials and new energy development, read Scifi, do lapidary work, esp. Gem Intarsia, I do a lot of photography and love to play with photoshop.
Activities:
I like to watch movies, which I feel are the great art form of the age, if done well. Sometimes I like to exercise, and go to the YMCA for weight training and swimming. I like to Read Scifi, build things, play music. I play Diablo 2.
Sports:
I'm not a sports fan. I don't like being a spectator. I did like tennis and handball, but my knees are not so good anymore, so mainly now I can play pool.
Movies:
Fight Club, The Fifth Element, Hellboy, Snatch, any of the Marvel superhero movies except Daredevil, Young Frankenstein, Perfume, Thank you for Smoking, Shoot 'em up, Buckeroo Banzai, The Princess Bride.

says: Change is within yourself, it has to be wanted, and be important enough to make the changes last. Getting up is easy if you not tired from staying up all night...

My suggestion would be to start clean... start from Day 1 and do that days work. Just do that one thing... and build from there. Start with "I'm having a great day!". Once you've done this.. the toothbrush, water, and other tasks will become easier.
Have faith in yourself. I do. :)

You have to throw yourself into this course. Everyday. If you do it will become easier and easier. You will find the effort rewarding in so many ways. Keep it up.

Have you tried to create systems? Such as printing the checklist and posting it all over the house? Keeping your keys in the same location, wallet,(whole family mind you) purse, pocket change, etc? And having that place be nearest to the door so you can grab the last few items as you walk out the door (and have a check list there as well to review) and drop them as you re-enter the house so as not to have extra drama? I keep my keys in one of three locations jaket pocket, on a hook (when the weather cant decide if its nice enough to go without the jacket one day to sub zero the next. or in my jeans (right pocket only). When I lived in Phoenix AZ I kept a weeks worth of bus money on the counter near the door, organized by day so I wouldnt need to worry about it first thing.
Now as far as being able to control when you go to sleep, I would like to have that ability myself (havnt been able to since I was 16). Good luck to you!
