However, sometimes there will be an item or two that keeps showing up, over and over and over again. I keep feeling guilty about not getting to it and yet I don't ever make the time to get to it.
These types of items used to plague me for days, if not weeks until I figured out that these were the items based on other people's agendas or 'shoulds'.
