The Big Things

So you only have a few minutes, and you have already taken care of all the little things. But now you have a few big things that have been on your mind lately. The kind of things that keep popping into your consciousness and you keep pushing them right out again. Maybe the garage needs to be cleaned out so you can fit your car into it before the winter, or you need to make a will but that involves calling a lawyer for an appointment and making lists of things and dealing with paperwork. These projects are going to take hours (and hours), and you don’t have that kind of time right now. Maybe some day next week… But, let’s be honest. You are never going to have the kind of time you will need to complete one of these projects all at once. So you have two choices. You can keep hoping you will somehow find that big chunk of time, or you can do a little bit whenever you can find a free few minutes or a couple of hours. I vote for doing a little bit whenever you can, because I see the people who work that way getting it done eventually, and the rest of us not getting it done at all! I know you’re disappointed, and I wish I had an easier, more magical solution for you, but I am still looking and when I find it I will let you know!
