I'm convince the answer is not "just keep doing stuff" because *every day* I have stuff I previously initiated come back and surprise me & add to the overwhelming list of half-finished tasks
like, I ordered an e-bike because I'd been wanting one but hadn't quite settled on which, and then twitter friends shared a link to a sale on a bike they recommend... completely forgot I ordered it until I remembered mid-drive home tonight...
I need to dig out my old bike rack and see if it works on my new car, and if not decide if I want a new rack or what... and also need to order a good lock... if I'd not remembered I'd end up buying a rack when unexpectedly I get a reminder to pick up the bike
and it'd probably sit in my living room for a week while I get a lock so I can store it in the bike room ... then I get home tonight to an order I forgot about- marble resurfacing polish for a table w water rings...
and one of my smart bulbs got burned out by the power surge last weekend, need to research which ones are compatible w my current & planned hub and order one, and then pair it & reprogram whenever it arrives.... and just an overwhelming list of similar stuff
