Hours

There simply is not enough hours in the day to get everything done. No matter how much I try to get it all done, it just doesn't happen.  I think I have (or used to!) pretty decent time management skills, but lately I feel like a failure.

The house isn't clean enough, I don't spend enough quality time with the kids, I don't get enough meetup stuff done, I don't get enough girl scout stuff done, I don't get a lot of quality time with my husband, friends or just time to myself. I hate it. I feel like most of my time is spent accomplishing much of nothing. I used to coupon, and what a time consuming job that was, even though we were saving some money.  Now I primarily shop at Aldis and no couponing and save money without the hour scouring the internet looking for the best deal and coupons to match.  You think that would have save me some time, but I managed to fill it with other stuff.

I want, need, to do better at managing my time again, I feel like I am missing out on so much because I can't get my head straight. I know my kid's activities aren't going to slow down, so other things must. I need to spend less time on the internet (yet here I sit blogging) and more time doing things that I've been putting off. I have an online course I need to take for girl scouts, and I haven't been motivated yet to do it. I did just get the info the other day though, so it's not like I've been putting it off long. I do however, have to have it done by Nov 10th, as it's for an event we're going to.

This particular issue is going on my "New Year's Resolutions" errr, goals list.  It must be done, something has to give.  There will be some things changing within the new year as well, and I am hoping that will help relieve some of my stress.

Do you get it all done? Do you feel accomplished at the end of the day?

Not enough time in the day!

That's my biggest trouble right now but again my mom says I am the world's best procrastinator! I think I work best under pressure, but usually I have the time to do it even last minute. This time not so sure, I have 2.5 days now to get everything done before the trip on Thurs.

So much to do, wash clothes, clean house, bank, store, pack clothes, cut grass, get oil change, plan a few more play dates for my mom group and so much more. Umm right in 2.5 days, sure so guess who doesn't get much sleep? You are probably saying right now, you could be doing some of this stuff instead of blogging, well I could but that just wouldn't be me!

In the famous words of the Little Engine That Could....I think I can I think I can...
