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.
What I’m still learning is to keep plans on multiple levels.
High-level plan. I need it, so I know what direction I’m going to and what are the main goals.
Mid level plan. That’s where I can prioritise one project over the other and adjust them, especially when I realise some of them are not realistic to achieve. I then give up parts of those that are less important to me.
Daily plan. These are task-level activities where I only take those that are realistic to complete today and break the bigger ones into smaller pieces.
Updating all the levels (weekly/daily) takes some time but at least I feel that I’m heading right direction that I want, even if I know that I could do more low-level taks when not managing my plans at all. I prefer it over doing small random things.
I'm glad you have that ability to make a plan, maintain it, and follow.
Not much a follow a documented plan.
