I set aside some focus time this evening to check a whole bunch of little things off my list. If I don’t focus on them, I will never ever get them done. So far, I have 20 tasks on this list that I’m going to try to “bang out.”

Is it okay to do this with my focus time? I know it’s not creative work, but I feel like I can’t dive into the creative work until I dig out of this backlog of crap. I’m hopeful that once I dig myself out, I won’t get so deeply stuck in it. Advice is welcome.
