Yes, that would be the voices in my head simply speaking gibberish. Which is probably a good thing because right now I'm awash in a broken pile of stuffthatmustbedone.
I have movie stuff to work on, like some effects that need to be handled and handed back to Fearless Leader, and some props that I need to build, and a couple more that I need to figure out how to build.
There is a buttload of work on the porch that needs to happen.
I need to figure out whether I need to get the big sewer snake and chop roots out of the main sewer line, or if my basement clog is something more insidious.
I need to clean out the laundry room completely before the mold and mildew sets in.
I need to clean.
I need to mow the lawn and weed whack.
I need to move the tools and such from the porta-garage into the basement.
I need to create space in the basement for the tools first.
I need to clean out the shed.
I need to clean out the studio.
I need to get Barb's project printed so I can prep for the color correction of footage as well as any effects work I need to do.
I need to prep for the upcoming secret project, which kicks off in something like two weeks.
But I think most of all, I need to spend some time with my pooch, and get some rest.

One exercise we did was to take our to-do list (like your above) and replace "have tos" and "needs" with "I choose to _____." We then ran down our list of to-dos and gauged our response to them. For my part, I dropped things off the list, and generally felt less overwhelmed.
Could be a fun experiment.
(Methinks I wouldn't have been a constructive force at the training workshop.)
And then I read your posts and the reality settles in...

Eeek!
1) No need for props for about three weeks. I don't see us shooting on our fight location until at least then.
2) We're shooting this Sunday (with storyboards) and next week (again, with storyboards). Nothing too complex, and in locations we've shot at before.
3) We're down to two day's worth of shooting in a week.
4) You have tons of time to not worry about the movie right now!
In short, short of being on site to light and mic the performers, don't worry about PREY. I'll worry about it.
