I&#8217;ve got a couple of pickups, where I won the item I least wanted or needed, with a single opening bid, but didn&#8217;t win anything else.  I WAS going to stop doing that- using the opening bid as a placeholder.   I must have been on autopilot and reverted to my bad habit.  I may even abandon a winning lot as it&#8217;s in the wrong direction for easy pickup.  I need to be more mindful of what I&#8217;m actually bidding on when it&#8217;s not an auctioneer that is close by.   <\/p>\n<p>And I need to get some other stuff done, but it seems like I can only do stuff in bursts lately instead of just working steadily.  That&#8217;s a me problem and I need to figure it out.  When I mention momentum, it&#8217;s the burst of activity getting going.   Something always seems to cut it short though, turning it into a short burst instead of a continuing effort.   <\/p>\n<p>IDK if this is just my reality now, or if I can go back to my old way of working on stuff.   I feel like I should try though.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to stack.  Easy to do a thing or two.  Harder to keep it up day after day after day for years.  <\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Still supposed to be a little cooler today, with a chance of rain.
