Ok... Maybe working full time and taking 8 college credits and trying to get the taxes done and cook and clean and do laundry are just a little bit too much! After an 8 hour night shift that felt like 12, I thought I better review my multiple to-do lists. I was thinking of all the items I could cross off - but the first thing I notice is that my blog entry was due by midnight last night! Well, Hearts & Flowers! Happy Valentine's Day to me!
Seriously, though... I can't tolerate lateness. I often procrastinate, but I work well under pressure and always (ok, almost always) get my to-do list done on time. My goal for this week: ORGANIZE!!! I can tell I am out of practice when it comes to organizing a calendar and 5 e-mail addresses. I have heard there is a way to have all e-mails forwarded to just one address. If this is true, and anyone knows how to do that, I could sure benefit from your knowledge! Then all I will need is more shelves and another filing cabinet... and another 10 hours in each day. My husband tells me I should just go with out sleep, but I feel like I do that already on most days.
Lack of sleep aside, I know I spend more time thinking about doing things before actually doing them. I believe this is the key to my current disorganization. I am a GREAT list maker. If only the jobs could by completed just by the mere fact that they have been written down on my To Do List! My other conundrum is that all of my work is split between my old desk top (on which I am now writing), and on my new laptop. If only I had been able to purchase my new laptop before classes started, I might have avoided the need to transfer files and set up new software and struggle to remember all my passwords that I had auto-saved on my desk top. Yes, I know the smart thing is to keep them written down somewhere. I am great at list writing, and note writing, and jotting down all sorts of important bits of information I know I will need. Unfortunately, I am also great at losing everything that is not pinned down. "Ah Ha!", my son says. "Just e-mail yourself all of your lists!" Hmmmm... maybe he knows how to forward all my e-mails to one address.
So, I have the day/night off of work. I plan to spend my Valentine's day cleaning, organizing, and finishing more homework. I hope everyone else has time to enjoy some romance today! Happy Valentine's Day!!
