So I complained here on WAF about not having the time to get around to go through my stuff. So on this other day I pull out my computer to do two things: Go through my e-mail, most of which is junk, and catch up on status update on Facebook. That has been my routine for a while now, and while I have noted in myself levels of frustration doing these two, well, chores, I didn't realize, until this other day, that I could instead be spending the time going through my stuff. But I can't. Because otherwise the e-mails and the Facebook status updates will continue to pile on, and then where would I be?
And that's where I realized I'm not really, you know, advancing. I'm just maintaining. There is stuff I could take care of, but I'm too busy making sure that the things I have deemed a higher priority are ... uh, in the state I want them to be in, if that makes any sense. And that's too bad, because as long as I am maintaining -- as important as that is in a practical sense -- I'm not advancing. I'm not getting around to the things that have been piling up for years. I'm not getting around, specifically, to the stuff that I need to either sort through or get rid of.
And so I find myself spinning my wheels, with a bunch of stuff in the middle of the living room that I swore I would get to but can't because I have crap to do on my computer.
