New Year, New Goals

Well, I have been doing a lot of studying recently and also I have come to the realization that I need to organize my life better. There are a lot of things that I want to do with my time and so I need to budget my time better. I would still like to design but I have no time to knit or crochet. I sculpt, make candles, sew, paint, make soap, take care of my family, clean house, garden and still study too...lol Where is all the time to come from?

Budgeting my time is the first step. Finding a good amount of time to dedicate to each project is the next. Do I allot a certain amount of time each day for each category or do set aside one or two days a week for a certain to-do item? Oh decisions, decisions!

The Rheumatoid Arthritis is getting worse again this season as well. So trying to schedule around RA Flair-ups has been difficult.

Well, as I taught my children when they were growing up..."How do you eat an elephant? You eat him one bite at a time!" So I will start with simple timing and budgeting my time; and then I go on from there.

1. Pattern Design
2. Pattern Woring
3. Beading
4. Candles
5. Soap Making
6. Painting
7. Leather Work
8. Wood Burning
9. Sewing
10. Sculpting
11. Gardening
12. Cooking (my Recipe Book)
13. Study/Lessons

Wow! So much to do! Okay, balance is the key. Now I need to work it into a daily time table that includes house cleaning and taking care of my family...well, off to work.

RaAnn,

I so understand where you're coming from! I think the solution is to simply clone myself so I (or the clone me) can spend more time beading. Another way is to never sleep but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. I guess the good news is that now that my kids are getting older there is more time to focus on my beading. Yeah!

It's always time management when it comes to dividing your time to each things that you wanted to do. Especially, when work, yourself, and relationship is involve. You should always know your priorities for everything to work out. Right now crocheting is the last on my lists and hope to finish what I have started doing. - anatomically correct reborns
