We always throw up obstacles to ourselves but the ones I find especially pernicious in my life are thresholds we need to get over to do something rather than nothing. I need time after work, I can do it someday after I'm done with this job, I need stuff, I need a membership. My wife was nosing around the idea of signing up for a gym again, I told her she barely walks the dogs much less driving somewhere else to work. But she's had that before and barely went. She needs something she can do right out the door, I told her. For me right now it's the feeling of being "on call" all the time since my kids are not self-sufficient, that makes me want to have my truck with me.

edit: JUST NOW, wife texted to see if I could take kiddo his day planner. Nnnnope!
