I'm Busy!

Does there seem to be times, where it seems that there is just too much to do? Seems my life has been that way lately…Busy…Busy…Busy…

Between being a full time business owner that takes every ounce of my attention during work hours. Plus my usual chores at home, family members, church activities, pets, and yes! even outside chores that need to be done. It seems as if there is always something to do.

Is it me? I remember when there was time to sit around and read a good book. I haven’t done that in a long, long, long, time, I do have a few half finished ones, laying around tho, calling out to me whenever I look at them, making me feel guilty that I haven’t finished them yet.

I also remember a time when I didn’t feel so rushed to get stuff done. I had time to go out to lunch with a good friend, and to play with my grandchildren…

I have tried all the wonderful, self help books out there that have every kind of suggestions on how to organize your life. But found out that I spent too much time organizing and trying to keep it organized. And still didn’t get anything completely done.

I get several different emails everyday with helpful hints to help make your life easier, my favorite being Mary Hunt. http://www.debtproofliving.com But then I find that I spend more time reading about all these wonderful ideas rather then implementing them.

I have found that lately I have been happier sitting around with the laptop on my lap, then doing anything else, which really eats up tons of time, and nothing else gets done.

Now, I have thought about hiring a maid service to do the essentials in the house twice a week, but, I have exhausted myself cleaning up the house, on the thought that she/he might see that we truly are the biggest slobs ever. So that defeats the possibility of adding more time to my day.

I find myself agreeing to do too much too, and it isn’t that I can’t say no! I don’t want to! Everything is just too much fun or interesting to turn down, in fact! I find myself wishing that I had more time do more things. Life is too short; I want to cram as much new things into it as possible.

So for now, I am just going to have work around my busy days, and keep trying to figure out the secret, of how to have way too much time on my hands.
