You're about to have company or leave town, so various chores that have been postponed for days are quickly addressed. Why weren't they tackled before?
Because they lacked the appeal of a larger purpose.
I'm typing this in a home office that resembles a jungle. If I decide to go through the necessary preliminaries of painting the room, one of the ancillary benefits of that project will be a frenzy of organization and prioritization.
A similar scenario can be found in the restructuring that has arisen in the wake of the current economic crunch. Organizations are now taking many actions that should have been completed when times were flush. Their larger purpose was externally imposed, but the willingness to select our own larger purpose before a crisis hits can help to break the log jam of daily routines. Drift aids accumulation and accumulation inhibits action.
