I’ve noticed something.  I have a tendency to ignore small, nuisance problems with more studious avoidance the longer they’ve been bugging me.

Bigger problems are okay.  I guess my psych knows they won’t just disappear, no matter how fine the sand in which I bury my head.

But the little things–fixing some online error which isn’t pressing but ought to be done, setting up that apointment that I’m not really looking forward too, unpacking/putting away that box that’s swiftly becoming a fixture–these small things seem to grow their own ‘somebody elses problem’ shield the longer I put them off.

Now, one would think, given I’m a rational and motivated person, that this knowledge would enpower me to hop right on these little items that sit on my To Do list, so they could never become an issue.

One would think.
