My Latin friends sometimes say "más o menos," which generally means more or less, about or roughly speaking. I'm not sure of the source of my innate get-r-done attitude that can lead to measure once, cut twice (sometimes a third time.) In commercial appraising, we spend enormous amounts of time striving to be precise, so at the end of the day I find myself floating to inexactness, the magical place of "sort of," "kind of," the marvelous land of "ish." 

Esurance has a campaign of "Sorta you isn't you" with Walter White from Breaking Bad in a drugstore pretending to be a pharmacist proclaiming that he's "sort of Greg."  It's comparable to Bruce Jenner a.k.a. Caitlyn, a former Wheaties box athlete to woman-ish, sort of Bruce. [VIEW CAMPAIGN]

Occasionally, my inner filter focuses on others' stress, anxious faces, people in a rush in traffic, always in a hurry, nervous frenetic glances down at their cell phones with little time for relaxed postures. I don't think many realize the level of cortisol floating in their bloodstream dealing with the everyday. This undercurrent of tension diminishes our ability to start, let alone complete things. Multitasking is really disingenuous to efficiency, as it leads to SOS (shiny object syndrome,) "look squirrel!"

So what's the real reason we put things off? It could be that it's really not important, lack of prioritization skills, lazy, apathetic or some combination thereof. Sometimes the mojo for success is just starting. It's true that preparation is often the best course of action, but sometimes it just gets in the way. Albert Einstein chimes in with "any intelligent fool can make things bigger more complex, it takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction."
