Since last few weeks, I have been having a lot of activities- at office, home and elsewhere.
And add to it my wants and plans of doing many things online.
However all this is making me feel a bit restless. I think that I need to calm down, and balance. I also perhaps need to enjoy a few things.
May be resume watching movies.
How do you folks try to balance things?

My time is balanced in the way that I do things all the time ..
Which is OK most of the time, but I'm also thinking about watching movies and reading books. I'm planning to have two jobs next school year too, but I think I might have to plan in a day or two in the week where I work more so I can do some other stuff the other days.

@Torunn
At times we need to make sure we do not overload ourselves.

@Torunn yes it is our planning that also needs to be rectified many times.

I just retreat into myself and become more introspective for a while

@arthurchappell I too prefer to do that but at times I have to be in touch with others as well.

Always, there is a time for every purpose under heaven. Activities must be planned in accordance of importance. Modern day lingo is prioritizing. Which comes first, this or that?There are cases, however that call for multi-tasking. You just cannot forego any at the same time. Thus we have expressions such as eating while watching tv, texting while studying, holding hands while walking, etcetera.
Best tip, when juggling things, breathe,
If you still can,
Y
If you still can,

@cherriefic
Yes but sometimes we tend not to relax at times.

@LadyDuck
Yes prioritizing can help a lot but sometimes we do mix up things.

@LadyDuck and often we end up having a big gap between our own expectations and the results.

When many things crowd our mind at the same time there is bound to be restlessness but time will help us to settle down.

@skysnap perhaps we just need to be a bit carefree some times.

@Janet357 but at times we also need to schedule less number of things and keep things more manageable.
