Sorry to seem frustrated, but ever since mid November, I’ve had some computer trouble that set me back about two months. What I noticed had something to do with a Windows update about that time, was actually that which prevented me from doing major editing about that time. But after a week I grabbed ahold of my brothers unused and unloved All-in-One PC then after Christmas, I actually contacted Microsoft to rectify the trouble on my older Windows PC which they helped service for me.

But here’s what’s so troubling which is making me frustrated. Projects I had planned to service in that time included several pages which needed several levels of fixing and one grew into the next and into the next and into the next, and what I always say was the “Christmas ramp-up” as my editing increased.

But that didn’t happen. My mother had a stroke in 2020 (survived) but now I become her aide (since she lost her last one mid-December, just days before the holidays). I tried so urgently to ramp up, but that didn’t happen. I know wikiHow is mostly volunteer, but it’s annoying when one thing you tend to do for special times of the year just don’t fit to your own schedule. She seems to be holding so much back from me that I can’t complete what I hoped I could do this past year and know I have so much more I should’ve completed.

What do you do to ensure projects - personal and wikiHow based - get completed in a roughly on-time manner?

The good news: I’m now trying to complete missed projects, but now without that ramp-up planned, it’s not going very quickly.
