The box contains a wedding photo project that has been put off for almost three years, put off far longer than the piles of tax papers underneath. Though definitely less interesting, the taxes are expected at a meeting Wednesday morning, so they stand a chance of completion. Perhaps the very idea of doing the taxes will make the mini-book seem more important.
Perhaps completing the taxes will allow you some free time to do the more fun project. I have a workspace looks incredibly similar. A fascinating photo.
I'm sure that a lot of us on here will be shifting uncomfortably as we are reminded of our own 'To Do' piles. I can hear my Mother's voice in my ear, in that admonitory tone that she did perfectly, saying "Prevarication is the thief of time!"
