You're right there. It's a constant cleaving away of what I don't have time for. Lists keep me on track and the tiny dopamine hit of crossing off completed items is satisfying. 😂 Really enjoyable to chat with you. I must come hang out on your blog at some point very soon.

I'll have some consequential content soon. My most recent hard hitting piece was about imposter syndrome and considering the sale of all my cameras. https://peakd.com/hive-194913/@holoz0r/photographic-ruin-and-insecurity-on-starting-from-scratch-and-planning-for-the-future

Consequential content! I like that wording. I'm going through the post you linked here. Lots of thoughts as I slowly go through it, but I'll leave you a comment there. Thanks for linking me.
