My virtual mountain
Sometimes a task can seem too large. Think back to being in school when reading that term paper was almost too much to take on. I have one of those tasks right now. No term paper involved. Some time ago I discovered a broken string. On my guitar. The one I rarely play in part because it has a broken string. Now I have the new string and I have the tool required to pull the peg and get the job done. The tool is in one of three places. A familiar theme to anyone who knows me. All I have to do is go and get the tool from where I last they’re getting distracted by everything else along the way. I have worked through the task in my mind’s eye many times. And my boat of getting it done is bug in the unseen sands. It all might go well. I might go to the first place and find the tools there and come over and just change the string. Or I might not setting off a long chain of where should I look next events. Right now I would prefer to go and shovel the driveway although there is no snow. Just a simpler task. Or I could admit defeat and go with the guitar and string in hand to someone who does this professionally. I will explain why I need their assistance to perform what is actually a very simple task. And they would laugh and I would laugh in 5 minutes later I would have a six-string guitar instead of the current 5. But ideally I want to complete the task using a lifetime of skills. I want to find the tool that I purchased for this task and simply get it done. Is this what they mean by procrastination? So far I have done nothing other than plan for a job that has not begun or begun. Something like that. I can request assistance but then I would have to explain the task in all its glory. I wonder if I can ask Alexa? Something simple like Alexa where is my peg puller. Alexa would know this I think. And so another day goes on. Maybe tomorrow.
