My brain has turned into a bee hive...
There's so much going on in there right now that I'm having a hard time accomplishing anything but making lists. Which isn't a bad thing, because once all that stuff is on paper, I don't have to hold onto it in my brain any longer. And then maybe I can make more things happen
But I'm tired already, thinking of all the things that need to happen. Plus when those things happen, there might be more things to do...
Luckily, my day job works on a ticket system. I get a ticket on my schedule for things I have to do, which is somewhat "listy" and helpful for me.
Anyway, it's Wednesday and it's time to prioritize and get started on some of the "things." :)
Hope you're having a great week so far. Talk to you soon...

All of a sudden...
I feel like there's not enough time in a day...
I have things I *need* to do and things I *want* to do and things I *don't want* to do and I am at war.
When I feel overwhelmed, I rely more heavily than ever on my trusty TO DO list. I just have to make sure it's as complete as I can make it, and I have to ensure that if there are due dates, which there are for many things, that I keep them in mind as I pick and choose what to get done.
Several years ago, I was president of my writing group and of the band booster for about six months. That was a challenging six months, but I was also super productive because I prioritized every day the things that had to be completed that day or the next. And day by day I got things done and made it through. Of course, I hadn't discovered BBC Sherlock fan fic at the time, so it might have been much harder with all that ficcy goodness tantalizing me from the Internet.
How about you...how do you handle an overabundance of things to do?
