Procrastinating or Prioritizing?

I find that certain tasks on my to-do list tend to get completed while others do not. Really odd items like...

• order rubber seal for overhead door, and

• get rafter drawings updated and reprinted

...tend to not get completed the day that I initially assign them and thus get rolled into another day's to-do. Other tasks such as...

• get back to customer with quote, and

• have a conversation with CPA about new company acquisition

...tend to get my full attention.

I wonder why. Am I procrastinating or prioritizing? Or maybe both?

Tasks that get me exited are those big projects or opportunities. Tasks that involve maintaining our shop or tweaking small processes tend to drain my energy. Interactive tasks such as having an investor meeting and calling a customer are very engaging and I love working on them. However, when my to-do list calls for an employee one-on-one that may include a difficult conversation that I am not looking forward to – well, that is a different story.

Perhaps, the above analysis indicates to me that I am not delegating well enough. Or, maybe it simply spells LAZY right in my face. Or some of each? 🤷‍♂️
