Do The Thing! Moving Edition

Racheline and I have a project due on Wednesday. We have another major deadline Sunday — which is also the day Racheline is leaving for South Africa for two weeks for her day job. On Saturday, my partner and I are moving to a new apartment on the other side of the city. All of this is super awesome life-stuff, but it doesn’t really particularly leave a lot of time for things like sleep.

The current state of my living room.

Some days (or weeks, or months, or years) the hardest thing about Doing The Thing! is not The Thing or any of its component parts, but everything else. Resources — time, money, emotions, and sleep — are limited, while the Things to Do are infinite.

What’s your biggest logistical obstacle to Doing The Thing? How do you do you balance the demands of all of your Things?
