I get antsy if I don’t have a project I’m working on.
I’ve learned over the last few years that my project needs to be physical in nature. It needs to require physical effort in order to be worthwhile to me.
For many years this was the volleyball club. And it took me a while to figure out what the next thing was after moving to Arizona. (and after volleyball became no fun for me anymore)
Right now, my project is my yard. And then I decided to make it a trailer remodel also.
Balancing all this is a feat (and not necessarily a positive choice) in itself.
But I have something to do. And I have lots of time to do it in. I don’t have to do everything at once. But I do need to make progress.
Like life. There is a lot I could focus on, and I could get overwhelmed if I allowed it.
But I can choose to focus only on what is important for the moment or what speaks to me. Or, given my focus switching fun, what I am motivated to do in a specific moment.
