No really helpful suggestions that someone else hasn't already posted, but like so many who have responded, I have the same problem. I think, though, that some of it comes from simply having too much to do. All these things distract you because they all need to be dealt with and no one else is going to do it if you don't. My biggest problem is that I find it hard to carve out time to do the things I really like doing because I never really finish with the routine maintenance stuff.
