I'm really good at distracting myself with "other important work tasks." For example, I opened my laptop today with the sole intention of writing this blog post. Instead, what I did first was spend about 20-30 minutes going down the tech rabbit hole to try and figure out how to get my RSS feed to automatically send my subscribers a new email every time I post.
I thought I had it down, I researched and found the steps - but my platform doesn't speak the same language as the steps I found and I'm at a loss. Multiple google searches and chat bot sessions later, I'm no further and it's Saturday, so I have to wait until Monday to talk to a real person.
All that is to say that my initially thought of "Oh, I'll set this up before I post the blog so my subscribers get it" instead of sticking to my original intention to open my laptop and write set me up for a common pattern I've had where I'm rushing to get the thing I intended to do done because I got distracted by other tasks....
