Maybe it's me. I have an accumulation issue where I bookmark articles and never get to reading them. New, exciting pursuits happen too quickly to effectively address all the things I'd like to.
I farmed out some tasks out to people on fiverr, but I find that writing sufficient specifications takes almost as long as doing the task itself. It would be nice to have a better workflow system to minimize time spent doing each step or at the junction of a context switch in the process.
I have a poor sleep schedule I've been trying hard to fix, to no avail.
I procrastinate to the extreme of often doing nothing for an entire work day (I'm a contractor and I just don't bill it!)--but because I won't let myself do the things I truly want, I end up on HN or similar for a large part of my day and accomplish nothing at work and much less than I could in other endeavors.
I'm interested in learning how to repair engines but it's hard to find approachable material online when I have a problem. Typically you end up reading tons of forums and deciphering lingo. (I know very little in the first place)
I have too many half-built projects.
My posture is suffering from sitting in a chair all day. That chair is a recliner (I work at home). I think I'm also experiencing poor circulation in my legs, perhaps from the recliner or the laptop sitting on my legs (it's a large, ~8lb laptop). I want to get back to the gym but my aforementioned terrible sleep schedule really gets in the way of that--just an excuse, perhaps.
Cricket just switched their cellular service to GSM from CDMA after AT&T bought them. Now I have a $600 brick, as none of the other CDMA services will take cricket phones for reasons they won't disclose to me.
I can't find enough time for all of my hobbies.
A business started with family members has caused strain and conflict, and the issues are going largely unresolved, with one person seemingly reaping the entirety of the benefit.

I could go on, if I thought harder!
