I know this is going to sound really weird, but the thing that really helps me is making my bed every morning. This would probably really help considering you're hoarding/OCD. Because you know, therapists talk about baby steps a lot, and it's true. I mean, it's the same when you start reading a book. Have to start with page 1. So, if you like reading, just keep doing it. I have the same "problem" but it isn't that much of one in hindsight. I mean it's only 1,000 books on my end... Try using the library more.

The important thing is to live in the present. Focus on what you need to do TODAY, not tomorrow. But limit what you're doing to a certain time frame so that you don't do that throughout the night too.

Have you discovered NAMI yet?
