Do you ever feel like you spend more time adding things to your list than checking them off? It seems in trying to get things done that I realize more things I need to get done and then get distracted from my original tasks. I'm very distractable, granted, but I wonder how to stop the madness of the never-ending list. This always happens when I move. It always happens that I try to send that package I've been meaning to send for months, and try to send out an update letter to 100 people, and clean out the garage at the time I'm moving. Maybe it's because in packing and cleaning I find there are things left undone that I'd like to get done --then distraction sets in and I try to work on those things too. Not to mention the load of friends I inevitably want to see before I leave. Then I become grouchy and bite the heads off the ones closest to me as the moving date draws closer from the pressure of it all. Well, I should be working on my list as I speak, but I needed to get this strange phenomenon off my chest.
