The new black market

Tuesday, February 15, 2011

I've finally figured out my big problem. TIME.
I'm writing this just before 10pm and I don't think I've come even close to getting everything done today that I need to. And, by my recent calculations, I need to get to bed at 10 if there is any hope of getting enough sleep to be functional tomorrow AND get up early enough to get everything done on tomorrow's list. I try to use this expression sparingly since I find it is overused these days, but WTF?!? I can't win.
Or perhaps I just try and cram too much into one day? I send this as an open call to all the put-together people of the world... HOW IS IT POSSIBLE??
I have been working on a plan for a daily schedule for myself for some time now. In a perfect world, I would get enough sleep and have enough hours in my day to: work out, eat real food for breakfast, go to work, tidy house, keep up with emails/phone calls, laundry, pets, banking/bills, make real dinner, spend time with husband, read book/listen to podcast/knit, and get to bed at a reasonable hour. I think not.
More often my day is: Sleep later than I should, eat crap for breakfast, silently curse self for not working out while rushing to work, stress out about things on to-do list, get home later than expected, eat crap for dinner, forget to change laundry to dryer, stay up too late working on business things on laptop, crash into bed at very late hour dreaming of pile of laundry/dishes swallowing me whole.
Do we see the problem?
So I'm convinced the perfect people of the world are buying extra hours in the day on some kind of secret black market. My question is, where the heck to I get them??
