You don't want to talk to my missus, she is for ever asking can you do so and so, around the house. I reply well I'd love to you know I would, but I need to do this before that, but that will have to wait until after the growing season is over!!!

There's even a name for it Ananke. It's yak shaving.
Seth's Blog: Don't Shave That Yak!
Well the sun's shining now so I'm off to see whether Grumpy needs some help moving those plants to a temporary holding pen so he can empty the 16' x 4' x 18" raised bed and move it so we can move the strawberries there so we can... shave that yakThe problem with rounded personalities is they don't tesselate.Comment

Yak Shaving - Brilliant I needed a new hobby
I like the punch line - think I'll make it today's Mantra!
"The minute you start walking down a path toward a yak shaving party, it's worth making a compromise. Doing it well now is much better than doing it perfectly later."
Thanks Sylvan

thats the story of my life and I am so glad I am not alone with this affliction.
I think the best method for me was to write out a list starting with the one thing I wanted to achieve then going down putting each thing I would need to do before doing #1, then starting at the bottom and working my way up until I achieved the thing I wanted to do in the first place. the trick though is to not get sidetracked whilst on my mission. until i got to #1 nothing else must be allowed to interfere.
Only then was I allowed to start another mission.

Worst thing for me is having this laptop in the kitchen - so that every time I pass it I just have to check.......! I'm in the middle of washing up the dishes, putting away some veg, cooking a meal., sorting some seeds, and drying the washing on the stove. With luck, I'll finish them all soon
