Yes, even writing! I saw a great post showing exactly how frustrating writing can be sometimes. We are not all free spirits; we do need a system, even if that system is unique to every writer. I can completely identify with the writer; although I don’t use an outline for my fiction work (perhaps I should, then I wouldn’t be stuck at page 1) I do need to be systematic about my freelance projects. I need to actually define in the morning what I am doing that day, and if I forget to take a project with me, for some reason I cannot focus on any other ones. I need to work on that I suppose, but I just need a to-do-list to work off of. If I don’t do that I am perpetually scared and nervous about forgetting something or forget about a project (which has happened before!).

On the flip side, I have stuff on my to-do-list I never even get around to, like working on my book. Very frustrating…
