I have prioritization on my mind. I really really need to make a lot of choices about what I'm focusing on and I have a lot of various desire paths that my legs just want to follow instead and like starting up a new thing requires doing a bunch of mandatory work and then there's okay for building on a product what are the actual most important things because those are also things you should be doing. I also have the client work which pays the bills which is a hard constraint. I need to keep that at a certain level. I have fairly flexible clients which is nice but I need to make a lot of hard calls and that can be kind of paralyzing. I'm pretty good at getting stuff done but when I have a lot of constraints and a lot of things I want to do it can really deadlock me in a way. Yeah prioritization I need to sit down and hash out what I actually need to focus on which things come first and which order. I do a bunch of time blocking so I do get things done every week but yeah. Those are the balance of not putting things on every evening slot. I was hoping to do some writing yesterday evening because that would have been beneficial but I was just worn when it was time so I didn't do it and that's the pattern. That doesn't work so either I shouldn't be blocking so much stuff where I don't have space to recover or I need to. Well no it's mostly that. Scheduling things for myself in the evening can work sometimes for some things like I have meetings that are hard to do because of time zones otherwise it's fine. I want to do all the things. That's pretty usual.
