Today I had a lot to do when I got home, then I got overwhelmed and rebelled against the overwhelmed feeling by… not doing what I needed to do. Sound familiar?
When I muster the initiative to start a project I’m always surprised by how smooth everything goes, but it’s only a relief in retrospect.
Staring down the barrel of a big project can unnerve you, especially if you’re already worn down to a nub. The damnable aspect of it all is that you know that you’re forestalling what will come on its own anyway, so to kill the little worrying voice you occupy it with some other less pressing responsibility or another diversion like trying to draw with the mouse in Photoshop. The pile is going to try to bury me tomorrow.
