Then I got it- last year, I was leaving office on time, so I had an hour before the kids came home, which was a LONG time to do all those things I currently cannot :-(Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481081735923606868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-3147400454354531882010-11-09T00:02:09.652-05:002010-11-09T00:02:09.652-05:00I am my own worst enemy so when my schedule is ove...I am my own worst enemy so when my schedule is overloaded (since I'm officially retired), it's my own fault. But as you said, when things get crazy, we still find a way.

Great ideas for people with lots of obligations, and I have no idea how you manage it all.<br /><br />As for me, I am frequently overextended but, like you, I don't go back on my word if it's at all avoidable. So I do a lot of time management things, too. For instance, I keep my memory stick handy, so that wherever I find a computer, I can work. I organize my daily errands, work-related things, etc., so as to spend the least amount of time and gasoline on the road. I also get up disturbingly early, so I can work quietly for a bit before the world starts clamouring for me. <br /><br />But yes, I am considering cutting some things. I don't want to say more right yet, as everything is in the planning stages. But I think it's important to take care of ourselves; planning helps that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
