I’m fighting the urge to embark on too many projects at once. This is normal.
Would you believe that I still haven’t finished scrapbooking our honeymoon? From 2003? Or that I have 8mm videocamera footage from back in April 2000 that I never managed to edit together into a final montage? IKEA kitchen accessories purchased a year and a half ago, and never installed? Photos and art moved from our apartment back in 2004 that I still haven’t hung on the walls? Art that I’ve purchased, and photos that I’ve gotten enlarged, and haven’t yet framed?
I’m trying to make a concerted effort to finish these orphaned projects before I start on anything new. I’m also coming to terms with the fact that some things, like my three unfinished novels, may never be done.
I’m on Day Two of a new initiative to prioritize and get things done, and it’s going well. One chunk at a time, and nothing too overwhelming — that’s how everything will get done.
Maybe, someday, my desk will even be clean and organized.
Pshaw.
kitchen stuff needing installed? handy unemployed guy available.
It’s just one of those bars that you install on the wall and hang shit from. It didn’t come with mounting hardware, and I didn’t know what kinds of screws to buy to anchor it to the studs in the wall.
Also, I had detected live power with our stud-finder by one of the studs I’d been planning to install the bar into, and that made me a little nervous.
I have the studs marked out and the holes drawn. If you’d care to come over sometime with four appropriate screws and mount our bar (huh-huh), you’re more than welcome to do so.
Good luck. This is an issue that I battle with all the time. I’ve got a lot of ideas but the focus is sometimes not there. I’ve got something in the basement that the paint needs to be stripped. A couple dozen programming projects that I want to try and put together. I think as I’ve gotten older I have kind of learned how to prioritize things and get them done. There is definitely a technique to it.
maybe reward youself with things you “want” to do after doing things you “should” do. Give you list a little time each day to work on “old” items. You CAN do anything you put you mind to (*_*) just put you mind to it.
