Unproductivity

Yup. I made up a word. Unproductivity. It describes the scenario of needing to be productive when you feel so grossly unproductive. Or unmotivated, perhaps.

I have a pretty big daunting list of things I really want to get done. It will definitely take more than a day, and I’m ok with that. Yesterday, I did not get a single thing done from that list, and thats ok, because MUCH more important things came up! ZERO regrets. But today is the day to get into it!

However, we have a SaskTel guy coming at some point today. Between 8am-5pm, I’m told. In this past, that means he actually won’t come until tomorrow or the next day. But who actually knows. Having him here is our absolute last ditch effort to improve our internet before switching providers altogether. SaskTel offers higher speeds and such for comparable prices to Access, but the locals seem to like Access better, so we’ll have to see.

With the SaskTel guy hypothetically coming today, I feel a bit stagnant. Its like the stereotypical cable guy all tied up together with Murphys Law, where if I duck out at all or get into something bigger or busier, thats when the repair man shows up.

I also know that, if he comes, I need to have a couple of spaces tidied up so he can more easily move around. And both of those spaces are absolute disasters post-Christmas, one being the furnace room, where the breakers and modem are right by the mess of wrapping stuff. Also, he may have to hard wire something to a phone line, which means our bedroom, which is currently the WORST room in the house, and would be SO embarrassing to have a stranger trying to find his way around in there. I could go do a big tidy, which is the absolute top of my list, but its a bit of a situation where its going to get worse before it gets better, so if I start, and then he comes, it’ll be so much worse.

I should stop overthinking this and just get into it. The list is LONG and the days are not! 😅
