Just me, or Too Much To Do?

[coffeeteaandme]

Where Gregg reads, I write. He works out the finances, I look for work.The contract comes in, he reads it, we sign it, I get it in the mail. It's a good arrangement most of the time, because I like my half and he likes his. Here in St. Augustine it can be hard though, because looking for work is different here, and we haven't exactly worked out the best ways to do it. It's getting gigs in a small town, where we'd be playing for a few hours at a time.

To complicate things, I'm in one of those times where I constantly feel as though I should be doing something else, like Cheryl Wheeler's Unworthy. I am mystified by greeting stuff done. I mean,i get stuff done, but it's not pretty. I start one thing, then switch to something more urgent, then something comes up and I go to that, then I have to go out and mail something before the postman gets here, and while I'm out I pick up some things we need, and finally I switch back to the first thing and the second thing lies around unfinished for weeks, and the third thing gets forgotten about. There's got to be a better way to get stuff done. How? What do people do?

Usually, people make lists, so they don't forget the next thing they have to do, or get back to.

I make lists and cross stuff off as I go. Of course, you need to not lose the list. And yeah, sometimes I'm tempted to leave a boring project or task but I know that sitting there and getting that one thing done is good focus and good practice for other areas of life, too.
