I'm suffering from a notable lack of focus.
I need to/want to/should be doing so many things that seem to rule each other out. I need to be training for SavageMan; I need to rest a couple of injuries; I need to decide whether to do the whole race as registered for or downgrade to the shorter distance or maybe the AquaVelo (skipping the run); I want to skip all this for now and go hiking with my backpacking pal Rocky; I need to clean & remodel my mother's house; I need to clean up my own accumulated junk.....
I need to do just one thing for long enough to progress a little towards accomplishing that one thing.
I need to light somewhere.
I just now started practicing hymns for tomorrow's church service and stopped right in the middle of one and went out and moved the car out of the driveway so my husband can get the truck in. My husband was not there, in the truck, waiting; he's coming after awhile. I stopped in the middle of the hymn to move the car. Then I came back in intending to go back to the piano but instead sat at the computer and started loading the weather radar map to decide whether to go for a bike ride or a swim or neither, and while the weather map was loading I switched to my blog. Haven't gotten back to the radar map yet.
I got a new tent, finished seam-sealing it yesterday, and want to set it up for tonight when it's supposed to rain. A friend has Tyvek she can give me to make a ground sheet, so should I go get that from her before I set up the tent and if so, should I bike to and from her house (24 miles each way) or should I drive there and back or just set up the tent using something I already have for a ground sheet that doesn't fit?
Pretty soon the bike-or-swim question will decide itself for me, as will the bike-or-drive question: I'll simply run out of time. Not to decide is to decide.
I still haven't gotten back to either the radar map or the piano. It's a wonder I've stayed at my blog post this long.

Oh! This sounds just like me. :( Making quick, concrete decisions is the bane of my life. I have days just like this; wanting to be efficient but drifting task to task under the guise of tyranny of the urgent.
Seems that your heart isn't into the Savageman this year and that you need a good long walk in the woods instead. Go meet up with Evie - she's an adventuresome spirit. :)
I've been walking/hiking a lot lately but know I could hardly match stride with Ellie. I did find someone recently who is willing to do a bit more. I'm looking forward to the challenge.
