I have to be up at 4:30 in the morning tomorrow to make sure that I can get to training on-time and I’m slightly irritated by that. I have to be on the bus by 5:45, to get to town by 6:30, so I can walk a mile to the west bus station, and get in line for the Coolidge bus that leaves at 7:00 so I can try to make it to the conference facility by 8:30. It’s a lot of bus time.
Also, all I can think about tonight (besides having to get up at 4:30am) is that my house is a total mess. My floors need to be mopped. My new books need to be sorted. I have kitchen towels soaking in bleach water in the bathroom that need to be scrubbed and hung to dry. I want to read my new graphic design and photography books… oh and I want to start my new novel… oh and I need to work on logos that I owe to a few of my community members… and that Excel spreadsheet I owe a neighbor… and I need to catch up with the kids that I’m tutoring because I’ve been so darn busy these last 3 weeks we’ve missed 3 sessions. Also need to chat with my mom because we’ve not spoken for weeks… and send a few emails to friends who might just think that I’ve fallen of the face of the planet because I’ve waited so long to send emails.
Needless to say the list goes on, and on, and on and it’s easier to blog about it than it is to actually finish the work. Where’s all that free-time that I’m supposed to have in the Peace Corps again? I could really use some of that right about now. I am committing myself to being productive this weekend. I am not sure how I will do it but it must be done because this is getting to be ridiculous. It’s time to start ticking stuff off that list and refusing to add more items to the list until I’ve finished what I’ve started. :D
When I was at Microsoft the first week so they signed me up for a "Time Management" class. It helped me get through 8 years of craziness and overlapping projects along with maintaining family and kids, etc. But, nothing will help if you have no time left to manage things into. Right? :-))
