I keep forgetting about the title bar.

Hello!

So, I have realized something about myself that needs addressing. I have absolutely no time management skills. None. Zip. Zero.

I really need to fix that.

This is how my days have gone... for a while now, actually. Starting with work, because that is easier.

Work. Go home. IF I get on the computer right away, then I will write. Most of the time. If I can't, then I will go to the back bedroom and study. And once I start that, it's almost impossible to get me to stop. If I write, I will eventually drift off into studying. Yes, I am that passionate about this Japanese business. Write/study until the sun comes up. (I work evenings, so it's fine and I am at my most creative at night.) Sleep. wake up and either study, or make jewelry, or paint. Then work.

It's a toss up on what I am going to do on any given day. I have too many things that I enjoy doing. And am discovering more. *sigh* I love being a creative person. I love making something from nothing, or learning something from scratch.

There are simply not enough hours in the day.

So, I think what I am going to do is designate the hours before work to the hobbies. The painting, or jewelry making or crocheting. (just wait till I take up candle making... ) One hobby a day for those hours. Instead of flitting about trying to get time in for them all, set a day for one specific thing.

As for my night hours, I will make a deal with myself. Write 1K words then study all I want. That way, the writing get done for my self imposed deadlines and I get my reward. Yes, I consider studying a language a reward.

Maybe then I can get some much needed organization in my life. I need self-discipline. And while I can stand on a roof top and shout "I am creative! I don't need no stinking schedules!", in order to actually BE creative, I need time management.

Anyone else suffer from this problem? I know someone does.
