Slow progress is still progress
Two years ago, I put up a post called “Ten directions at once” in which Don expressed frustration that he was getting scatterbrained because there were so many house and farm projects that needed doing.
As I said in the blog post, “He was pulled in so many different directions that he would do just a bit of this and a bit of that, without bringing a particular project to completion. … The trouble is, accomplishing one thing was often hinged on first accomplishing another thing first, which in turn was hinged on accomplishing yet another thing … and so it went, until he felt like he was a hamster spinning on a wheel, unable to focus and accomplish anything at all.”
To overcome this issue, we sat down and hammered out a list of things to accomplish:
• Build deck for Older Daughter’s suite (finished, but never put up a blog post on it)
• Build storage platform above shop
• Organize a yard sale
• Fence the pasture
• Build chicken coop
• Build more garden beds
• Build wood shed
• Order drip irrigation supplies
• Install hand pump for well
• Build loft above shop
• Cut firewood
• Make a well house
• Re-plumb pressure tank
• Coat decks with sealant
• Install sunshade on western wall
• Build deck storage room
• Clean gutters (Don does this every year; no photos, sorry)
• Build cattle infrastructure in barn (he built feed boxes, but that’s it)
• Clean out shed (I’ve done this several times)
• Buy cows
I wrote out this blog post and then forgot all about it. But when I stumbled across it a couple days ago, I was impressed with how many of these projects were already completed.
Don was less impressed, feeling like he should have done more. (How??) But then as he put it, slow progress is still progress.
The next project he plans to do is to install a 1500-gallon water storage tank under the deck. We have the tank; the issue has been finding the time to install it. Once the cows are moved onto the larger pasture, we hope to tackle the water tank.
Slow progress is still progress!
