Yes, certainly, due to:

  • laziness
  • a desire to not spend money
  • inability to estimate how long something will take
  • expectation that I'll be needed and get interrupted
For example, I've been meaning to buy new tires for the old car for about 1.5 years. But because it's expensive, I've put the priority lower than it should be.
And I expect something more urgent will cause me to postpone the job, so I don't even make the appointment.

I might start something, get it to the point that its priority is lower, and then leave it unfinished for months.

There was a hole in the wall made by the doorknob from a door that was flung open in a fit of energy and a bit of anger. I've got the first coat of spackle in place, which hides the hole. But it needs another layer or two, then sanding and finally painting.

Newly unemployed, I am waking up at 4am with a whole bunch of "to-dos" going through my mind....
