Time management

Time management is something that I pretty much had to master due for utter survival. That and multi-tasking. They are two things that I need to really move forward in my life. They are just going to really be something that is going to really allow me to keep some measure of sanity. Granted, in some of the busier weeks, I have to get a bit more creative. And it does seem to get harder with each passing year, but somehow, I tend to manage. I think that in the end, there aren't too many shackles to me. Which really is a good thing. Still there are enough where it needs to lead to quite a balancing act. Sitting down at the beginning of each week and hammering out a gameplan of some sort really is going to help me a lot of the time, more often than not. It is not the cure all situation but having some kind of plan will allow me more room to breathe. And that's what it's all about.

I have never been good at time management. It just seems to slip away from me. I have tons of things to get done. But, usually I work best when in a crunch.

I try to do most housekeeping before I go downstairs (wake up at 7am or earlier) (so up = beds, laundry, some cleaning). Next = breakfast, washing dishes, checking email followed by taking my kids to school by bike (it's 8am). Rest of the day I have a kind of scedule for things I need to do, where to help out, what to arrange, my animals/shelter, etc. Since I am easily tired out I try to find some relaxing time for me, which is mostly hard. So I need to give more attention to that.
