As February approaches (February's resolution is learning to manage my time better), I am so glad I picked this to focus on early in the year, because I'm really panicked about how I'm ever going to do all the things I think are important to be done.
I'm pretty good about keeping ongoing to-do lists, but terrible at prioritizing the things that need to be done first ... and no matter how I do it, the most time-consuming and put-offable tasks (which include writing, arguably one of the things I want most to do) wind up on the semi-permanent back burner, waiting until the day I have an uninterrupted block of time at the same time as I have the enthusiasm and energy to do them. (That would be a long-winded synonym for never!)
I'd like to just schedule my day—certain hours for one task or type of task, certain hours for fun, etc.—but a person with three kids ages 3 and under just can't be that inflexible. I suppose I could assign the hours such that I did the things assigned to those hours if I could, and scrapped them if I couldn't, which would mean they got done occasionally... I just don't know. I suspect February will be some trial and error! I hope to just be able to get out from under this feeling of panic and bewildered overwhelmedness.
