Have you ever been busy all day long but felt like you didn't get any work done? That's the way i feel today. I did a bunch of housework. I went grocery shopping that in itself can take some time these day. I am always trying to get the most for my money. I look for coupons. I put everything away did a couple loads of laundry. After that i made dinner. I was busy all day long but I just feel like nothing got done. I am waiting on a client to call me so I can help with content that she wants for her website. That is going to be a lot of work. I hope I haven't taken on me than I can handle. I wish she would get back to me it's been a few days now. Last time I talked her she wanted to to start right away. Have any of you ever been busy all day long but at the end of the day you feel like you didn't get anything accomplished?

Yes, this happens occasionally - maybe because housework seems like 'nothing done'. :)

@ilikeit1 I'm surprise - but pleased - that you find it funny. I guess I might except that you do it (housework) all one day and the next day most of it has to be done again! Very dispiriting.

I have been busy trying to recuperate from being sick, not a fun day.

Lots of people go through this. It can be very frustrating.

I won't drop a chore unless I'm done so when I work I always accomplish things unless of course something get in the way, like when an unexpected guess came over and took my time.

I don't feel that way . When i do chores at home , i feel accomplished after finishing them , and the reward is relaxing by just simply being in bed watching TV and playing games at my phone or doing myLot .

Many of us have this happen. Maybe we expect too much of ourselves.

I think you have accomplished a lot so don't put yourself down! What you can not do today can always be done tomorrow!

I don't see why you'd feel that way as you did loads of things. I on the other hand, really haven't got much done today, but I've been dealing with a headache since seven this morning. It keeps receding some and then coming back. I think it's a sinus headache, but I'm not sure about that. I had huge plans for getting stuff done at home today, and I haven't done diddly-squat except take my mom to lunch at her location. I feel a bit better, so maybe after I have supper I can accomplish a few things tonight. I'll be cleaning windows for a good part of tomorrow with one employee.

I've been there done that. It's frustrating. At least you can account for your time.

Well that's the story of my life really. I also get side tracked, and then side tracked on the side track, and side tracked on the side track on the side track (if you follow....) and eventually get back to where I left off, by which time its night fall....

That often happens to me. Sometimes to make myself feel better I write down all the little things I did get done.

I think we all have days like that. I know I do. Some days, it just doesn't feel like I got anything done.

There are some days I feel like that. But today I feel like a super star from getting chores done! Lol.

I have had days like that work all day and achieve nothing. On another day you achieve a lot.

Nowadays time flies as we are from one thing to another and it goes on forever. I like to restrict my activities and keep to myself unless somebody needs some help - siva
