Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• My to-do list has everything I could ever conceivably do crammed onto it, so there’s no honest line between someday-maybe and what I’m actually committing to today
• I keep a to-do list a mile long but it never tells me when anything happens, so every task feels equally postponable
• Every request that comes my way I just dump onto a list to deal with later, and now that list is a wall of vague half-things I dread opening
• When it’s just a promise to myself I let it slide without a second thought, but the moment I have to say out loud to someone else what I’ll get done and then report back, suddenly I actually follow through.
• My calendar is packed with standing obligations I only keep out of guilt or habit, and even when I’m not doing them they sit in the back of my mind
