I have fallen victim to the 'busy syndrome' over the years, which means I'm always busy, but rarely accomplishing what I would like.
Oof, this hits hard, you are so preaching to the busy but not accomplishing choir with this sentiment and entire post.
I too have to set hard, uncomfortable deadlines if I want to get something completed, especially a project that furthers me, I am very prone to self-sabotaging my business progress and personal development by using tending to others as, gasp, an excuse. Sigh.
But, I hear you and the Universe, it's time to set a date and get cracking instead of avoiding. I hope you crush whatever it is you are working on fellow homesteading, hardworking sir, I shall endeavor (uncomfortably!)to do the same lol!
