Yep. Same here. Fortunately, not much needs done around here. Most things are just fine left part finished.

Hey! Speaking of undone, DD was looking at the satellite view of our place on google and the day the drone buzzed over for a pic was the day I was placing DW's greenhouse on its footings. One of these days the electric in there will be "needing done".

Because of our seasons, I kinda take a triage approach to getting things done. Major fencing repairs have to be done in warmer weather because no posts can be pounded in winter and I want my water troughs in good repair going into winter.

I find some 'fixes' are a temporary solution that is required because of conditions but because of our climate, I also find that when I need to fix something, I want it fixed right and as soon as humanly possible.

I prefer getting things done immediately. Unfortunately some times funds just do not permit that.

I prioritize chores by: time, need, and available cash.

For some people the old saying goes: You can't fix the roof when its raining, and when its not raining it doesn't leak.

Well last couple of things have gotten rushed because of Permits. Our Firewood Permit was up last day of Last month. Building on to our Cabin Building Permit is up first of May.

Garden I know if I what a Harvest I need to get it done at the proper time.

My Son can't understand me on Firewood. For the most Part I've always had a Large pile if not early Spring, more than enough middle of Summer.
