100 Things I Must-Should-Ought-Want to Do (11-20 March 2015)

(Reluctance to delegate tasks or to work with others unless they submit to exactly his or her way of doing things, such as not letting anyone else watch my injured dog, or perfectionism)

Here we see my capacity to get things done completely drop off the chart.  I have to take care of my dog, and neither of us like it if this is left to someone else.  If it can't be done from my desk, the couch, or the bed, it isn't likely to get done.  On the bright side, I'm really advancing in Gardens of Time.
