smftwo- I looked into the conference. Right now, I’m obsessed with psychopharmacology, so I need to find those hours. The APNA records their conferences and can be accessed online! http://elearning.apna.org/cpi.php haha I know.. totally not the point of what you were saying lol. You are right that I should brave one again with my handy new ADD skills and would probably have a better experience. You know Arizona does not require continuing education for RNs. I get an AZ BON magazine which discussed that this is in contention. My stance is that RNs are professionals in an ever-changing field and should require continuing education (of course being compensated both financially and professionally for it!). Here, I think that is part of the contention. Nurses are often not respected as capable, knowledgeable professionals which is a giant waste to our self-destructing ailing health care system. ok..rant.. end 
Nellie, that housecleaning method actually sounds like of terrible!!!! Maybe that is more for hyperactive ADHD? I could see myself diddling around organizing one pile, have the timer go off, lose my train of thought, look around in confusion, leave said pile unorganized, and flit to another place in the house >_<. what is the site for the ADD coaches? although, that idea sounds terrible to me, I’m sure that I would find something interesting. I know there is a video on this site to check out. I sort of tried, then got bored watching it lol.
no dopamine, I have both clutter and cleaning cleaning problems. My main necessity is the decluttering because I am losing stuff and not keeping proper check of my professional stuff would be disastrous. I have decided that once I finish with that, I will try and do the other cleaning, but hire someone and not beat myself up if I cannot.
thanks guys! I’m feeling really positive about moving my life forward in this aspect. I’m so ready to be done with that feeling like I am always one thread away from not functioning and keeping up with life.
today, I’m going to start tackling the file folder, but not beat myself up if I don’t finish.
