I'm having a hard time getting things done.<\/p>\n
I have a long to-do list, full of important things I need to do--paying bills, editing and reading stories, responding to emails, lots of magazine administrative stuff, things to buy, answering machine messages to listen to, people to contact, etc.<\/p>\n
And that's not even counting a similarly long to-do list at work.<\/p>\n
But I'm somehow finding it nearly impossible to actually do most of the things on the list.<\/p>\n
I'm getting some productive things done, including one or two things from the list. I did finally pay some bills this morning, for example, and I went grocery shopping today (several days after running out of most of my staples), and I finally did some dishes a few days ago.<\/p>\n
And I've finally started moving on some of the magazine stuff. As of yesterday, we're \"only\" four weeks behind on reading submissions, and over the weekend I managed to do some important magazine stuff that I said I would do \"in a few days\" a month ago.<\/p>\n
And I've finally started moving on some of the work stuff. Last week I had to send an unfortunate number of notes that started out \"I'm sorry I didn't finish this a month ago\" or two months ago, or in one unfortunate instance eight months ago. Anyway, it's not like I haven't done anything<\/em> in the last month or two, it's just that I have a whole lot on my plate and, what with travel and being sick and, mainly, general inertia and tenseness, I haven't done enough of it lately.<\/p>\n So I'm slowly beginning to make some progress and overcome some inertia. But there's still a lot to be done and a long to go to dig myself out of the hole that's risen up around me while I've been sitting here paralyzed into inaction.<\/p>\n All of this partly by way of an apology to anyone reading this who's been waiting for something from me. I don't have any excuses (another thing I've had to say too often lately). Will try to get moving shortly.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m having a hard time getting things done.
