With 2 businesses, graduating from high school and a very attractive social life I run across this kind of situations all the time. I always feel busy, put in a lot of hours, but I am far from as effective as I know I can be. I really like these parts, they really apply: "What results is excuse-making. You find easier tasks to do and excuse your procrastination. Rationalize away the feeling that you don’t feel comfortable going forward." & "Excuse making is the result of conflicting priorities." Thanks again for the wake-up call. I feel like this a lot, but could not really describe it for myself. This article really does. Great article Scott, it really captures my current state of affairs.
