task frustration

task frustration continues to be the enemy of simplify. I boil down to what I think if a manageable list of things to do and then when I go to do them, there's something in my way.

I go down my list - nope, nope, nope, nope, can't do - usually blocked by someone in the way or someone in the space I need. Eventually I get to a point where I'm like like "f it" and then I do nothing. 

It doesn't feel great. I don't have a solution for it. Any high I had hoped to get from being able to cross stuff off is gone and instead I just wander around aimless waiting for bed. Or death. 

Well, waiting for everyone else to go to bed. Then I can leave the house and go on a long walk and listen to my audiobook or music and no one bothers me. 

And then I can come home and go to sleep and maybe try again tomorrow. 

But I've got about two hours before that can happen. It would be nice to do something useful and feel productive in the meantime.
