I've always had a side that leaned toward procrastination, but never to the point that I seem physically, mentally unable to take care of business.
For example, I still have a number of task not started, or unfinished that I need to complete to protect my property, family wellbeing, in the event of civil unrest.
I have done somethings, but I am very frustrated that I am having such difficulty getting key important task completed. "You fucking had the chance and failed them", is how I will feel if I don't complete these things.
I am hesitant to blame what might be pure sorry ass laziness on some outside force, but damn it man, I swear I seem to be under the influence of some bad mojo, and was just wondering if I was alone in this.
I hear you, getting old has affected stamina, but sitting around on my ass is hardly an antidote to the affects of old age.
Up until about 3 years ago, I still felt in my prime. I exercised every day, and think I could have wooped anyone half my age that wasn't a trained fighter. Now the only thing that still works somewhat well is my trigger finger.
Sounds like the American diet! Might look into the benefits that the carnivore diet brings! I just started it almost 2 weeks ago, but my energy is way up!
Watch out for scurvy, take liposomal Vit C to avoid it.
...mine (trigger finger) is growing very "itchy"...
Got a few things I need to finish:
It's not like I have done nothing, but not there yet.
For my front fence, I have grown some Bougainvillea plants from cuttings that I planted in front of fence path. They are very thorny, and when they grow out would be almost impossible to penetrate without pain.
I have well, not on city water, and generator, but that would only last for a couple weeks. Also have 15K pool water source, and enough Sawyer mini filters I could keep from thirsting to death for a while, and could flush potty's, but I really want to get that well down with pitcher pump.
I have probably three months of emergency food per person.
A 30x30 garden with some beans, melons, cucumbers, pineapples.
1 Banana tree, two Jamacan cherry trees (birds eat), one Moringa tree (young)
At least 1000 rounds per bang bang.
Enough Chlorine Dioxide to last a year, six tubes of horse paste IVM, Vit-D, multivitamins etc. and DMSO.
I'm square with the lord (a big one.)
Enough money to burn a wet mule runnin (just kidding)
Lanterns
Two generators. (working on one given to me the other day for free) Guy used it once, didn't know to drain fuel out of carb for storage) so he bought a new one, used it once, didn't drain carb, bought a new one and then learned to drain fuel lol.
Need to get three or four at least 2000 lumen dependable flashlights.

I got a pack of these. They are cheep, durable, and use AA-batteries. I don't like having to depend on a rechargeable battery, although rechargeable battery are much better today that the old ones.

(lazy havent done anything) Water pump kit sitting right here next to me, every time we look out kitchen window we see the casing & rocks for it.... again lazy.......
Sad :(
You need some solar panels and solar thermal generators with a solar hot water tank. Given you have pineapples you prob don't need the winterize option
We made a solar cooker and used it daily for years for rice and beans (you can store them easily). It was cheap and we actually liked eating that way, with soy sauce, olive oil and salad.
Nope, no chance of freezing here lol.
Been looking at solar. Do you thing the solar generators are enough or are you talking about whole house solar capability. Or just solar for battery recharge.
