We all just need to communicate better

Sometimes we set ourselves a goal. Something we want to achieve, But there is ONE THING you have to do before you can get started or get finished.

It can be that very frustrating situation where you go to do your ONE THING like set up a new camera on your computer, but before you do that, you realise you don't have enough of the right sort of plugs or enough places to plug things in and... oh well, I'll just leave it for a bit.

Or you go to log in, and there is something else you need to do before you get to the site and to do that you need some other information from somewhere else, and you have to go searching for that, and then you find it and your session has timed out and... oh well, I'll just leave it for a bit.

I recently had a project in mind, but I needed to create ONE THING to get started. And I kept putting it off. And every time I walked by, I noticed the start of the project sitting out there in my studio, waiting for my attention. And there was that ONE THING getting in my way again.

I remember thinking how this was such a colossal waste of my brain space. And I carry around the need to do this every day. There are THINGs we walk by every day that we really ought to do something about. We build little workarounds but never fix them properly.

Now, this either mattered, and I would find the time, or it didn't. So I decided that maybe it was time to give myself good taking to and just get it done. Or maybe I choose to simply take a load off my mind, take it off the to-do list and file it under "Later".
