What's the Item that Doesn't Get Done?

Something on your "to-do list" that never gets done.

Well, there is one big item that has been on my to-do list that should get done that won't in the near future. If you haven't already guessed, it is the first episode of the podcast that I have been hashing and rehashing, over and over. I just don't want to start it without the proper research and outlines. I want to make sure that I have all my ducks in a row before creating some content for people to listen to. Then there is the thought that says "What if no one wants to listen?" These doubts run 5k marathons in my head, and sometimes these marathons keep me awake at night. Nice analogy, right? Anxiety about this subject is a bowl of cherries; it's the pits. SMH. But in all honesty, that is a big thing that is a constant worry in my head.

There is another item on my to-do list that I have been putting off, which is sorting the various totes I have in my big closet. I start thinking about wanting to do that task and I get overwhelmed. I don't want to go through it if I end up keeping most of the stuff that hasn't been used in several years. I know it makes no sense, but most of those items have sentimental value and I have a hard time parting with things that mean the world to me. I guess I just worry that someone should be able to use these things, instead of just throwing them away. How would you feel if you had a, say, wooden basket that your grandfather made, and you just decided to throw it away, instead of finding someone who could use it? That's the dilemma I'm in. It's just hard.

I may have issues, it's true, but I think we can all agree that ignoring them is not going to help in the long run. I just don't feel motivated most days to deal. That is on me, but I am working on it, albeit slowly. Wish me luck.

Small victories and fluffy bunnies.
