Catching up by falling behind

I really am going to get all these extra things off my to-do list. But there are only so many hours in a day, which means that if I have to run a couple errands outside the house during the middle of the day, and I’ve got a project I promised to finish up last week (finishing touches tomorrow morning, really!), I just can’t get to everything. So I let a couple things fall further behind to try to get these other things off the plate, which will then leave me playing catch up on them — but if I have fewer items to do overall, maybe I’ll hit a balance at some point. We’ll see.
