What are you behind on?

I am way behind on my e-mail. Which means I have many mylot notifications still waiting in my inbox. I keep everyone's notifications on, because even if I can't respond to every discussion, you can make sure I read them. Right now it is taking me forever to play catch up. So if you haven't seen me in any of your discussions, this could be why. I've written a couple lately, but they haven't generated too many responses. So right now I'm going between mylot and gather notifications as well as all the survey sites I belong to. What are you behind on? Bills, housework, crafts...?

If we only lived near each other. I'm dying to get out and do something. I'm pathetically depressed, and I haven't had any surgeries lately. You've got a lot of real reasons. I'm just a nincompoop.

Well I would say homework, but since the one program isn't working and I don't have my one book, then I guess you'd say I am caught up as much as I can..Maybe my synopsis? I hate writing it and out of everything I did for this book, the manuscript, the query and the synopsis, the synopsis makes me very sleepy and bored..It is taking forever...

Well, writing a synopsis may appear a little bit tiring and time consuming. But it is worth all that effort as it significantly improves your writing abilities, and tests your understanding of the original text.

True, it does make my writing skills improve, as for understanding the original text, I wrote it and practically lived it for over a year and a half..lol

paperwork... piles of paper, bills, quick nots long notes, to do lists... I ma not a procrastinator, I simply find it difficult to establish priorites for tasks which look equally important to me... (does it happen to you too?)

I would asy I am behind on all of my online stuff, my yardwork, and my housework. I am just behind, period. I have some things I am learning to do online, and that contributes to my being behind.

Oh so much....I feel like now that kids are back in school I can start to catch up on them a bit more but I am still very much behind. I am hoping that once winter gets here I can get them all done. I have some home projects that need done like painting and such and then I have a bunch of handbags that I have cut but need to finish sewing together. I have the website set up for them but there are only two finished bags on there so I need to hurry up and finish them so I can get them finished and posted to sell...I also want to lose weight and get back down to the weight I was before I quit smoking which was about 40 lbs ago so I am going to go on a calorie diet and hopefully by the time summer breaks I will be back down to the weight I was and then I also have my photography business that I have been doing and I think I want to look into some newer packages and such to make it just a little bit simpler but I am not 100% so I will have to take some more time and do some more research before I submit to that one...

Good for you for quitting smoking, but also taking on the challenge of losing the post smoking weight.

I feel like I am behind on almost everything! I am working on several projects that I can't seem to ever get together! I did finish one this week and that was good. I am also behind on my article writing... but it's more fun to hang out here! lol!

At the minute I seem to be behind with everything. My daughter and her two boys had to move in with me before Christmas due to a fire at their home. I had plans for lots of craft projects, writing projects, learning how to get the best from my camera and computer. None of this has happened. This is the second year this has happened, different daughter, different reason last year. I'm making no plans for next year and hoping things will go better.

I am always behind on everything except bills. Keep those up to date and paid. I fall behind on my emails. Can't seem to get caught up. I get so many myLot notification emails there is no way I can respond to all. Am also behind on craft projects but really have no deadline. Not doing any fairs this year so I can go at my own, slow pace.

I'm way behind on getting through my mylot email discussions, I have currently over 600 of them. Have gotten through a fair amount today and actually have been responding too which is nice. Usually when it gets that high I find I just read them and file them off to get to later. Also this year I have started home schooling my second grader all of our stuff arrived on Thursday and on Friday received an email telling me we were behind. UGH I fear I will never again be caught up. Also slightly behind on household shores but usually fairly easy to get caught up there. Wish school and emails were as easy.

I am behind on everything that I feel is important. I am behind on some bills and I am also behind on many of the house things that I need to do. However, I have been spending a lot of time with our horses and the barn so I do have a reason for being a little behind. However, I am also behind on my online work and so my money is not where I would like it to be. I will get things caught up, but it will take me a little longer than I want it to. Good luck on keeping up with your email and I wish everyone that is behind on bills the best of luck to get them paid. I know the economy is rough now and so I am hoping for the best for everyone.

You are the third person who has told me they don't get my discussion notifications. That's annoying! I do get yours. And if I'm not mistaking, I've got some of yours to read. Although I did get to and appreciate the Grandparent's Day post. I had totally forgotten. But thanks to you I found out, and made sure to give my grandma a call.

I am way behind on my scrap booking. I have about a year worth of photos that i need to scrap book. I haven't even done my child's first birthday. It was last December. I keep photos around the house, and update those, but to drag out all my scrap book supplies is a big hassle. My child does not allow me time to just sit and do something. That is why I like the internet and sites like this. I can take a minute and do what I can, but a minute with scrapbooking really gets nothing done.

You're right. Scrapbooking requires a lot of time and concentration.

I am way behind on my reading. At the present moment in time, I have about three dozen books I intend to read, but just can't find the time to get to them all. In fact the book I am reading now I started about three weeks ago and I am not even a quarter of the way through it. So at this rate it will take me a long time to catch up!

Hi Ambie, What am I not behind in? That would be a lot easier to answer. I have several incense burner orders that I promised would be done by Thursday. I did sort of start them today but then had a bunch of errands to do so it'll have to wait till tomorrow. I have a stack of mending for different people to do and that has been sitting in a basket hidden from view for way too long now. I am such a procrastinator. It is horrible. Those are just two things in a zillion that I keep promising myself I'll get done. I did manage to clean out my storage closet last week and it felt so good to knock that off my list. It was huge and I got rid of a ton of stuff and it looks so neat and organized that I just want to leave the door open on it so people will see that I really am an organized person underneath it all. I am busy all the time too. I clean my house and I pay my bills on time barely but on time. It's the things like cupboards, closets, projects etc that I just keep putting off until someone bugs me enough or I bug myself enough and just get it done.

Behind on a bill or two sadly.... and it's only going to get worse when the holidays approach because not only will I have Holiday Shopping to contend with BUT a huge heating bill too! So I guess I better get pluck'n on mylot to help ease the burdon of my net bill atleast Always behind on houseowrk, that's why I have a good hubby that'll take a bribe or two... in exchange. He was raised by a neat freak I was raised by a hoarder you do the math *LOL* Not behind on a craft. I'm behind on mailing it out! I don't have the cash to spare to mail it out and it was done before the recipient was born HONESTLY it was!

Oh I'm way behind my supposed to be "career" path. I'm suppose to be computer "scientist" or programmer or a computer expert but all I am now is just an online tutor. I'm way behind what I've studied and wanted to be for years. It's really so hard to cope up. Hardware and software upgrades happen like everyday! Though its just been few years when I graduated I don't even know those new programs used today! Wew! I way behind now and I don't know if I can even keep up. I'm thinking of starting all over again. Starting a new course and making sure that I keep up to it.
