I thought I would pose an interesting question/thought I had recently. I often find that I make too much work for myself. Let me explain: I have a running list of To-Do’s, usually those things I want to do as well as those things that need done. Rarely does that list ever get completed. Why? Simply because I keep adding to it. Not just a few things at a time, but a lot more than I probably should.

For me it seems that my mind is always running, working, and thinking. I am constantly coming up with things to do. The hamsters that are spinning the wheel in my head must be dying from exhaustion. Sometimes it is a bad thing, as I hop from idea to idea, task to task, and project to project without actually completing one of them. Other times it is wonderful as I have often come up with some ’scathingly brilliant’(1) ideas - - most of which have yet to be completed.

I thought I would see what everyone else thinks. Do you often come up with too much for yourself to do? Do you over volunteer yourself? Do you ever wonder why you can’t finish that infamous To-Do list? Let us know your thoughts, share you resources, tricks or techniques. Don’t be shy share it all with us, I will keep you up to date with some techniques to help battle this as I learn them.

Update 12-27-05: I was re-reading this post and realized that the (1) was never defined. It stands for a movie reference to the Parent Trap (original version), hopefully now it makes sense.
