This really hit home! I have suffered from the ‘But First’ syndrome for several years now. I have some control over it by making a ‘to do’ every day but I still find myself shuffling off every once in a while. Thanks for alerting me that others have this problem too.!! Big Smile, Dave!!!!
@Marina … yeah. Unfortunately, when the stack gets too high, stuff gets lost off the bottom.
@Momma … to-do lists are good. I find when it becomes a problem when stuff off of the list comes up — when life becomes “interrupt-driven,” to use a computer term. Then these things start to cascade. And, yes, you are no the only one. 🙂
