Steem Basic Income Giveaway (Backlog of shame)

[bengy]

I'm posting this post again a touch early, as it has been a busy couple of weeks, and while I'm waiting for the baby to fall asleep, I'm going to write this post. Thus, I will have time afterwards to watch a movie or play a game or do something like that!

I guess I was asking for trouble when I asked for podcast recommendations last week. I lost one podcast, and I've gained quite a few more.... but there were soooo many interesting sounding ones!

The Background

As we have a finite number of hours in the day and a seemingly infinite number of tasks to fit into it, we have to prioritise the things that we want to do. Now, this leads to a backlog of tasks that should be done, but aren't immediate priority until the moment that are urgent priorities. They can range from the mundane to the hyper critical if disaster strikes.

So, for this SBI giveaway, just drop a comment and describe your backlog of shame.

My personal backlog of shame

My currently lowly prioritised tasks are:

1. See that garage, it needs tidying again... every year, this seems to happen, we dump stuff out of the house and into the garage.

2. I really need to teach my wife how the to access the crypto savings.... again.

3. I have over 1000 games in my Steam library, I need to play and complete more of them!

4. Life insurance. I don't plan on dying tomorrow, but my mother keeps nagging me...

5. It has hit summer, and last summer I was talking about getting another trellis for this grapevine....

So, there you go. My mix of mundane and potentially critical tasks that have been sitting on my to-do list for waaaaaayyyyyyy too long. Hopefully by the end of summer, I will have done at least 1 or 2 of these (preferably number 3!)

Rules

1. Upvote if you want, it increases the payout and then I can hopefully sponsor more people.
2. Resteem is NOT neccessary, but the more people see this, the more the people will be likely to be sponsored.
3. In the comments, describe your to-do list of shame (or maybe you don't have one?)
4. I will be sponsoring as many people as this post pays out in SBD. Also I will kick in at least the required amount to round up to the full number. Winner is by random generator after a shortlisting of quality comments!

Steem Basic Income

One of the first communities that I came in contact with at the beginning of my time at Steemit was @steembasicincome. As a beginning author, Steemit can be a daunting place. It feels like you are posting into an abyss with no ability to grow. Steem Basic Income gives you a guaranteed vote on one post a day, thus giving you a small but cumulative over time support to your account.

With this post, I want to help sponsor people who might not even have the spare 1 STEEM that is required for registration. So, when this post pays out, I will sponsor people depending on the payout of this post. Basically, I will round up the SBD payout from this post and then that will be the number of people I will sponsor. (So, if the payout is 2.3 SBD, I will sponsor 3 people).

Last week's winners

Last week's post paid out a bit under 2 SBD (I will need to double check when the post pays out in a couple of hours), so I'll be sponsoring 2 shares.

I've stuck all the valid entries in a random list picker (afraid you'll have to trust me on that) and the winners are:

@viking-ventures

@kaelci

Congratulations, I will set up the sponsorship as soon as the last post pays out.

My list of shame 😀

1. Start studying for finals that are coming up in 2 days.
2. Clean up my room, currently my desk is about the biggest mess possible with random clutter from the school year.
3. Start going to the gym more often and get back in shape.
4. Starting eating more healthy and cutting the junk food
5. Get my monthly subscription bot to over 20 people (more of a goal), but currently not putting as much time as I could be

[bengy]

Best of luck growing the subscription bot! Don't forget us when you are a whale!

[cryptowithincin]

Thanks, haha! Will do

[cryptowithincin]

Join the bot and maybe the whale will be sooner 😉

Rip I didn’t win

[viking-ventures]

Thanks for your sponsorship, as always!

For those who didn't win, I'm still offering one share for a newbie (under about 100 SP) who reads my fiction and asks me a question which causes me to write an "Ask the Author" post.

Congrats, and thanks for sponsoring the plankton!

Thank you so much @bengy! :D !!

I won't be entering this one, but I just wanted to say:

I have over 1000 games in my Steam library, I need to play and complete more of them!

Oh man! I understand that one completely. I have games in my Steam that I bought on various sales, or thanks to Humble Bundles, and I just never found the time to even check them out. It's terrible.

[giddyupngo]

Congrats on the win!

[kaelci]

Thank you! :D

[bengy]

I know, and then the sales come and there are some that are way too cheap to pass up! I've really cut back on buying these days though... Even still, there is a giant backlog.

[viking-ventures]

My personal backlog of shame???

1. I have several jars of homemade mincemeat in the cupboard that I keep meaning to find a non-Christmasy recipe for... (Never quite had the energy to do mincemeat pies in December.)

2. I have a pile of sewing that needs to be done - but some of that needs to wait until we've moved and I have a little more space to sit at my sewing machine comfortably. (Not to mention the fact that I really need to Google how to do button holes on that machine - I understand it can... (It's a "vintage" 1977 machine, so it wasn't a guarantee it could!)

3. Cleaning always takes a back seat when there are so many better things to be doing with my time.

4. Reading unfortunately - I never quite have both the time and the quiet around here to do much reading - and I'm working on my writing so much...

5. I really need to get on the phone and make some doctor appointments now that my husband's schedule seems to be getting more regular - but I HATE the phone - almost to a phobic level - so it gets put off... :-p

Maybe that's enough for now.

[bengy]

Ah, mincemeat, I took a while to realise that you meant fruit (I hope...). I know mincemeat as what you probably call ground meat, which would be pretty gross after nearly half a year!

[viking-ventures]

Yes. Mincemeat, in the British sense - (raisins and other fruits, preserved in suet) - as opposed to "beef mince" (their term for what Americans call "ground beef")

[crypto-econom1st]

My backlog is really terrible. We have a short term to do list. That one for example contains wash the car. It's on my list for at least a few months.perhaps even 1 full year.

Next to that we have a long term to do list. One item on our short term to do list is to search and find the long term to do list. And I'm already searching 2 or 3 months. So I basically don't know any of my critical backlogs 😥

[bengy]

Ha ha! Find the long term list, that's too good!

Backlog..

1. Work out more.
2. Take up a second job to raise money for my Masters.
3. clear out the basement. Don't think anyone has gone through those boxes in 6-7years.
4. Get up to 500 SP.

[bengy]

Ha ha, Yes we have boxes in the attic from when we moved into this house... Obviously nothing critical, but it will be a surprise when we open them!

I could go on for hours about that backlog of shame:

1. Write a story a day.
2. Go out into the world, get away from the computer, and meeting new people.
3. Watch all the umpteen billion different movies there are to watch.
4. Be more productive in achieving my goals. (What are my goals.)
5. Learn Grammar, Logic, Rhetoric.
6. Study the human body.
7. Play more games and enjoy life.

[bengy]

Well, it seems that covers all of life in general there!

This is one of my unfettered messy handwritten to do lists, I have so many of these, some crossed out others still on the shameful to do list.

[viking-ventures]

Awww, but I've seen part of your "done" list and it's quite impressive!

[insideoutlet]

Haha ahh yes my dreams list. I just looked at this one and there is more I could removed lol but i have another book with new stuff on it. It never ends lol.

[bengy]

At least you have it in a book! Mine are scratched on the back of used envelopes.

Looks like your problem is just stuff in general. Sell stuff, sort stuff, take stuff, put stuff...

[insideoutlet]

This was bisy the list I could find. The treaty have been cleaned up as you can see by this list. Cleaning is the theme of the month. Lol.

My backlog of shame

2. Too busy with work and did not spend enough time to coach my son with his school work
3. Need to set an exam paper
4. Have not been spending enough time with my wife

3. My digital music library has badly needed re-labeling and sorting to remove duplicates.
4. Work on my recipe book that keeps getting buried under other life things

[bengy]

Nice! Games list at number 1, the right priority!

Probably also the most neglected...

This execise is actually really good, Im remembering all the thing I need to get done hahaha.

[bengy]

Ha, my wife does that with the vacuum as well. Although, I'm starting to think it might be a message for me?

[lifeobserver]

It was actually my wife who put it there too! and yes, I do believe its a message hahaha

[sparkesy43]

I have a couple of key items that are on my "I really must do something about that" list.

Firstly I have a whole lot of movies and TV series banked up waiting for me to find some time to actually watch - the downside here is many of them are not suitable for my 2 year old to watch with me, so trying to find time when she finally goes to bed is tough as we're usually exhausted or doing other important tasks.

Secondly, I run an online store selling Lego parts on a website called Bricklink (gratuitous plug - www.brickmanbrad.com.au). I currently have a significant amount of stock waiting to be added to my inventory so I can actually sell some of it.

There's also the usual around the house jobs that my wife likes to "remind" me about on a semi-regular basis.

[bengy]

I know the feeling about not being able to watch anything other than the Dutch equivalent of peppa pig for 'entertainment'. I'm in for again next week, so looking forward to catching up on grown up movies! I might even try to catch Infinity war at the cinema!

Hi, interesting question.
Backlog of shame

1. Fix lawnmower, replace transmission and run-up
2. Tune up bikes/Fix brakes on one
3. New siding for house
4. Find a new job

Whew, that's enough for now. Better stop before I get depressed. :-)

[bengy]

Wow, sounds like some pretty handy work you have backed up there! It does remind me, that I need to look at our bikes (see the garage photo...).

Here is my backlog of shame or, as I prefer to view it, my backlog of things that can be done later...

1. Make plans for the summer. Always surpriced that summer already is here. But anyway my summers have fun and nice people in them, but could be more organized..
2. Declutter my home. Where do Oavsett vad en företrädare för en organisation som får stöd av skattemedel anser, bör det föras en debatt kring om skattemedel ska beviljas i stöd till religiösa organisationer. things come from?
3. Organize my clothes and give away the one I don't need/like/fit anymore
4. Do some of all the handicract projects that I have bought materials for.

[bengy]

I recently got rid of a while heap of clothes. There was so much that I didn't wear anymore and I had run out of hanging space.

[lynxki]

Same problem for me. Time to start rinsing when you run out of hangers 😜

Well I will reveal you my list of shame. First of all I should clean my dishes! I hate do that, but..when I need to eat I clean only the needed pot.
The second thing I should do is to make my bed. It's been 2 weeks since I don't make that. If I sleep every night there, why should I make my bed?
That is all for the moment.

[bengy]

I used to do that when I was a student! And to save on dishwashing, just eat straight from the saucepan!

Oh, there are so many ...

• my yard - front and back. Much upkeep, installing and repairing irrigation and so much more
• all kinds of work for my podcast.
• I don't even want to think about the garage!!!!

🤪

[bengy]

It's always the garage... We renovated the back garden last year, so no it is a pleasure to take care of (mostly). Front garden is on the plans for this coming year. Probably some sort of multi level storage for the bikes....

I have a lot of these:

1)The biggest one being 10 books that I have started writing but are incomplete.
2)Learn how to make comics, I always buy the stuff for it but never do it.
3)Give up coffee.
4)Write more poetry
5)Call my mom regularly

[bengy]

You've started 10 books? How do you keep them seperate in your mind?

[diebitch]

The plots are very different, 4 books are part of a series, and I've tried my hands at many genres. mystery, history, Sci-fi
for now I just write short stories

[philippekiene]

Back log of shame, Wow where do I begin....lol

1. Do my tax (it's due in 7 days)
2. Ensure I'm posting daily (my plan was to have two posts per day)
3. Learn to fix my own motorcycle (while I'm working from home... I should have the time)
4. Be more organized (I've never been able to keep a diary, this is the first list I have written in a while)

Win or loose this was a great exercise for me, it's inspired me to jot down a list of the things I need to get done. Hopefully that will help me start to prioritize and knock some of these things off my list of shame...

[bengy]

Tax tax tax, that's the one I completely procrastinate on. If only I organised myself better through the year, it would be less of a grind at the end....

[philippekiene]

Here in Cambodia we have to do it monthly, it's not like back home in Aus.
you think it would be easier because its broken down into smaller bits, but it means it has to be done 12 times, and we have to pay our accountant 12 times also!
