Good afternoon, friends.
It has come to my attention that I am bad at priorization.
I say that because I’ve been working on my book description for Hallowed Hill for like a month now and have yet to finalize it. But neither have I finished anything else useful in that time frame.
You see, my brain seems to work like this:
- Have important project that needs to be done
- Panic because important project is IMPORTANT and must be done right
- Decide to work on other, less important projects because Important Project is overwhelming, and then at least things get done
- Cannot focus on other projects because Important Project is outstanding
- Fall apart
- Play Solitaire
I’m really good at Solitaire.
Earlier in the week I made a list of everything that needs to get done in the hopes that I could then make some headway because it was all written down, but instead I’ve only done one thing and have been existing in a vague form of panic.
I’m getting real sick of my executive dysfunction here. I have Things To Do.
And I swear I used to be way better at this. Like, I would sit down and get things done. And I could work on multiple things and make progress on all of them. Is this leftover COVID trauma? Is my brain going as I get older?
Well, it will all get done eventually. Maybe if I sic my children on me. Like, tell them I need to be working on such and such, and if they see me elsewhere, they can lick me in the face or something.
I don’t really understand the licking in the face thing. Kids are weird.
Anyway. Wish me luck, friends. If all goes well, we’ll have a workable book description soon, and you too can fear for Martie’s safety as she navigates the dangers of Greyson Academy.
Oh, and as a FYI, Hidden Worlds is included in the Doorways and Portals giveaway over at Prolific Works, so you can download a free copy between tomorrow (Aug 17) and Sept 7 by going here.
And, as always, if you have ways to overcome executive dysfunction, let me know!
