Take small steps to achieve the bigger ones.  Set up a daily routine for yourself and stick to it.  I am big on routine.  It keeps order in my life.  Sometimes weekends are hard for me because they are long stretches of unorganized time.  Maybe you could start with waking up before noon, eating something, reading something, go walking, eat again, hit the internet, read again, have dinner watch some TV and go to bed.  Just a suggestion.  I also like weekly routines like, Mon. is house cleaning day, Wed. is library day, Friday is visit my parents day, things like that.  It gives me things to look forward too on a weekly basis.  That might be a bit much for you right now, but think about it.  Start small with the big goal of being independent in mind.</blockquote>
