This sounds just like me, especially for anything related to the house or life admin. I start a load of different things and nothing gets finished. I'm part self-employed and the thought of not earning money if I don't go and find the work terrifies me, so I guess that's helpful in finishing things!

I feel seen. (And I don’t have kids either.) I too am self-employed and have a terrible time getting things done. My solution so far on specific things has been to work with various coaches, etc who hold me accountable. Then I get stuff done.

It's the other way round: no kids means you have the luxury of being able to choose to just relax and do nothing whenever you feel like it! Personally, i think you can leave things undone for a day or two or a year or two :)

Kids or not we all have days and weeks like these. Unpacked boxes and cases… I see the pomodoro mentioned in a few places but not heard of it. Does it apply in many fields?
