Partials Buggin' Me
Realizing that something's bugging me: too many partially completed projects. I wanna pick something and FINISH it. Then something else. Yet it seems that how I tend to work is to wander around, working on this 'til I find that I need that done to keep going, so then I work on that 'til I'm distracted by such-and-so (which also needs doing) so start handling it - and sometimes it's a legitimate switch of activities, f'rinstance I can't finish the cat box b'c vacuuming the rug 'round the area at 3am might wake up the neighbor behind the wall; I can't cook 'til the counters are clean; etc....and then at some point I return to the site of the original project and wonder why it's only partially completed. Mebbe it'd be okay if'n 'twere only 4-5 interrelated things I'm trying to accomplish, but it seems like 10K.
Yesterday was good. I got further along in several projects than I have quite a while. But did I FINISH anything: NO. (Of course, some things never end. You can do all the laundry in the house but at the end of the day what you wore that day goes into the hamper. Ditto washing dishes. Or sorting through junk mail. Even so, however, you can acheive a momentary stasis, a brief moment of "whew - done" before starting the cycle again.) In theory I guess I could keep on top of a mess of stuff so it doesn't build and build and threaten to overwhelm me when I do get around to dealing w/the piles.
So, having said that, I'm leaving for Farmer's Market to get food (chow now & for the next few daze). And run more errands...and hopefully keep working on defeating some of these enemies of serenity.
