Thought for the day - getting it done

Some days, i really do wonder how some people manage to get it all done.  Or, at least, appear to others to be able to get it all done!  i wish i was one of those people.  i have my definite morning routine....coffee, NPR, crossword puzzle and emails.  Today, i sit here thinking of everything i have to do today and everything i need to accomplish this week and i am trying very hard not to overwhelm myself.

i'm not sure what system of getting things done works best for me.  i am definitely a list person and that can be both good and bad.  When i make a list, it's good for me to have everything that i know i need to do right in front of me.  On the other hand, the longer the list gets the more disheartened i can become...especially when i do not cross as many things off of the list as i would like to.

And it's also a question of time management.  In between work and school, trying to make time to get everything else done seems near impossible.  So far behind on housework it's ridiculous.  And i have to get time in for my volunteering.  Honestly, i'm just not good at it.  i think that i need to just sit down with my schedule and plan out each day down to the second.  i realize that does not leave room for spontaneity but that has never been my forte to begin with!

So, as another busy full week lies ahead of me, i suppose i will try a few different methods of making the best possible use of my time and see how it goes.  i know i function better when i have things to do, it is just a matter of prioritizing and actually making myself do them!  Wish me luck :)
