A room packed full of teetering towers of boxes brimming with To-Do’s.

As you slowly survey this room, you feel as though there is not enough space to take even one step; you feel trapped in the habits that enclose you {tighter and tighter} each day.

[Artistic goals are my current focus of topic.
