Have you ever wondered where your time goes? I certainly have.
Here it is Friday evening and I wonder what I've accomplished today, let alone this week.
Sometimes I will enumerate what I've actually done that is what I deem "productive", just to make myself feel better. And although that is a good exercise for my self esteem, it doesn't address the issue of "where did the time go?"
I am particularly sensitive to this today because of the current "time thieves" in my life. Some of them are occasional but recurrent, some of them are once a year, and hopefully some of them are rare.
Do any of them sound familiar to you?
1. Just came back from vacation. That was nice, enjoyable, and very needed. But now I have 10 days worth of "stuff" to catch up on.
2. My love, my darling Charlie, came back from vacation sick as a dog. Since we partner on quite a few projects, that puts us both behind. We don't have time to be sick!
3. Son Travis' birthday and subsequent birthday party. Wouldn't have had it any other way, but it cuts into time that I so desperately need.
4. Picking up daughter from the airport in the middle of the afternoon. Again, so glad to be of service, but it shot several hours.
5. NCAA tournament. Need Isay more? Go Boilers!
6. NIT tournament....for those who didn't make the big dance.
7. Yes, even ActiveRain. As well as email, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and all the other things I'm supposed to keep up with in addition to actually selling houses.
8. I need to get those 16 hours of mandatory continuing ed!
9. Lunch with friends...again, vey needed, very enjoyable, but not getting those houses sold!
10. Cleaning house, cooking, getting ready for company coming in April and a monster garage sale. All worthwhile, BUT...
What's your list?
