Why is it hard to focus on just one project? Is it because life is multi-faceted? Is it because I'm afraid to commit to just one thing? I suppose life is multi-faceted. But what I really believe is that there are a lot of things that a person could do, but there isn't enough time to do them all. This essentially points to a need for prioritization. Is this one task needing to be done ASAP? If not, when can I schedule this? When the scheduled time comes, how do I handle interruptions or new tasks? Do I re-prioritize on the fly? If so, what weight does the current activity have? Or do I have slots of time where I can fit smaller important tasks in. That leads to needing to consider the amount of time a task will take when prioritizing. Can I block this in in the amount I have available? If not, then when? Also... do I want to live my life by a calendar? The answer is emphatically, "No, I don't." But... also, "yes", if I hope to achieve something meaningful with my life: not having a schedule has led me here with a lot to do and things falling through the cracks. Is there a happy-medium? What would that look like? Weekday grinds, with nothing planned on the weekends? Will that open-ness need to be defined or how can I avoid things overflowing because "its nothing going on" then? Thoughts?
