Years have gone by watching tv and reading and suddenly I realize how precious those minutes and hours wasted were. Good post.

Kristen, unfortunately daily care of my doggies is all on me. Hubby only helps if I’m ill, and then just the bare minimum. No way I would trust anyone else. Lola and Sophie are like our children.

Have to: Go to work 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and fix issues the manager is responsible for (Really not motivated to get up and go there but do a good job despite this).

Don’t have to but want to: 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. go to check on my Mother, Niece, and Nephew and help my Niece and Nephew with homework (math) if needed.

7:30 p.m. at my apartment where I catch up on lessons/lectures from the internet (seminars, wealth maps, etc.). I spend approximately 10 hours a week for this. I manage to watch a little T.V.

Have to find time to clean, exercise, work on my projects, grocery shop, eat, sleep is lacking lately which is mentally affecting me, etc.

There is so much more that I can’t possibly write.

Is there anyone who can help you with your furry friends?

Also, start trying to group things together that are similar so you can be focused on one area, you will be amazed how much faster you’ll get things done when you do that!

When you have 362 emails, how many would you estimate actually NEED your attention?

You can set up filters in your email so that it files things automatically into separate folders (I know you are doing this at work, but you can do it at home too.)

Hi there!

Is there any way for you to start to chunk similar items together? And, is there any way you can leverage out some of what you are doing so that you are getting some assistance?

Kristen there are so many things that we do for ourselves that it is almost impossible to write everything down. Iam just so exhausted today because I went for a meeting with education officials and then went to college all this after a long day at school with approximately 48 learners in each class. How on earth can I find more time? I have tried buut then it means sleeping later and the next day is wasted, because I am so tired. But I am open to suggestions & look forward to your reply;

Oh, my goodness. Just writing it all down takes valuable time. I\’ve printed this out and will take it to the office, so I can write those tasks down.

What do you do with all the e-mail that accumulates in the in-box? I have one here that had 362 unread e-mails in it because I hadn\’t spent (wasted) my time going online. Then, there\’s the one at work for which, fortunately, I can set up \"rules\" so that extraneous e-mails to which I might want or need to refer can be automatically sent to different folders. E-mail was supposed to help us save time, but now it has become a chore.
