My nails are short again so now I can type again 😉
I have to do something about the time sucks and my addiction to writing overwhelming to do lists (thought I was going to say Facebook didn’t you?). I have been on social media type web site for almost 12 years when I first signed up with ParentsPlace when I was pregnant with Hollace. And for 12 years I have been at odds with the time I waste and not do all the cool projects I want to do.
Calling it wasted time isn’t fair really though. Being connected with these people is very important to me, I like feeling like I belong and that I have all these cyber sisters. It is critical to my well being since I generally don’t feel like I connect or fit in with people. What I need to do is to do it in moderation. Right now every spare moment I have this urge to check in and see what is going on. If I can set aside a specific time to check in instead of a gazzillion interruptions throughtout the day I might be able to focus on the projects.
My other problem is the actual to do lists for these projects. Here is my actual list of to dos for this weekend. It is enough to choke a cow. I set myself to fail with these lists because I can’t possibly get a fraction of them done but I guess I like to put everything on there so I can pick and choose.
