In Box

My to-do list is an ongoing work in progress... It seems that as much as I tick off my list, more gets added... or I remember more things that have been weighing on my conscience for a while! I know that my in box will never be empty... and that my to-do list will always have items on it... So, I'm never going to get to the point, where I can look at an empty page or an empty "in box" and think... "ah there... all done!"... And that's probably a good thing! Mind you, with many things on my to-do list, I find that they are fairly flexible. They don't mind being moved hither and yon... They can be shifted for days, weeks, months and sometimes even years. They are pretty patient with me...

Mind you... I'm not too patient with myself!!! I see these things and they niggle away at me... they sit there all patient and I know I need to get to them at some point... but that point always seems to be receding away ahead of me as fast as I move forward! There's always something new appearing in front of me that is "more important" or more time conscious...

And then, there are those moments where I do get some big project done and completed... and there is a feeling of immense satisfaction... and then I turn my attention to the next thing of the day... or the next big project...
