This, That, and the Other Thing

By Abe Newmeyer, October 2, 2024

Work & Business

Hadn’t written consistently in weeks now. I’ve taken breaks as a means of breaking the monotony. This time it’s a little different. Not entirely sure how, but it is.

I’ve got too many things to get finished and it’s been that way for months. I’ve made lists, but haven’t finished every item. I’ve finished some and had to wait for various reasons. Now I’ve got a few days, maybe two for uninterrupted work and I’ll take advantage.

This thing and that thing and the other things all seem important. They all appear to have a high priority. That’s how they seem and it may very well be true, but the truth of the matter is, I’m a bit befuddled and confused on what’s the most important thing.

It appears to be money. Had a potential client back out of a deal and not pay. That hurt a bunch. Haven’t landed any freelance gigs, but that’s mostly cause whenever I’m doing that work, I know it’s distracting me from what’s most important. What’s most important is how I’m going to fulfill my purpose. I have a means to do so now and that’s where I’m directing my energy for the most part. Hate to admit it, but I haven’t done enough. There’s more work to finish and the window is closing.

I’m not going to ramble on and on and how much needs to get done. I’m not going to keep writing. I’m going to do what’s important today. That may change tomorrow, but today it’s clear. Finish one thing. Have something to show for my efforts. I’ll work on the second thing, after the first one is done.

Today, Wednesday, October 2, 2024, I am grateful that:

A couple short paragraphs offered clarity. I’m better when I put it in front of me and out of my head.

I’ve got enough for today. Money is tight. Other resources are as well. Today though, I have all I need to complete the task at hand.

I’m willing to step up, even if it’s less than I’d like. I will finish a total of two for sure and maybe three videos. Afterwards I’ll have proof of concept for potential investors. That’s all that I’ll need to secure the funding that’ll be needed for the first 50 titles.

Write down what needs to be finished.

Put a number on the highest priority.

Start and finish item one.

Abe,
