This is basically describing exactly how I've been stuck at my current job that I hate for the past year, although instead of 'attending a lot of weddings' it's 'planning our wedding'. Something is always coming up, and I keep putting off doing what I need to do to prepare for and land that next job, especially with the insane technical quiz hurdles thrown up at pretty much every job interview nowadays.
At this point we're less than two months away from our wedding now, so I'm pretty much just saying "let's get past the wedding and then I can get the hell out of here". But that's still putting it off.
- BigHatLogan 7y agoFirst, congratulations on the wedding! Yeah, exactly--you nailed it. The mind is incredibly capable of coming up with excuses to put things off. If you don't plan things out and come up with a schedule, then you'll inevitably find that the time has more or less slipped out of your grasp. Today, it's, "I'll wait for the wedding." Tomorrow, it's, "We just got married! I want to spend some time settling down!" And so on and so forth. Best of luck to us both.
- cableshaft 7y agoI wish I had that 'spend some time settling down' excuse. We've been living together for over two years now, and we bought a house together a year ago. It'll probably be something else, though, like "I need to get caught up with everything around the house we've been neglecting for months" or something.
