So tired.
Why does the average item on my To Do List always result in something like this:
Item: Call organisation X to ask for certificate Y, and about the possibility of an internship
Action:
Day 1:
Call organisation X right after lunch, find out everyone's already gone home because they only work in the morning.
Day 2:
Call organisation X in the morning; be connected to person A who says that yes, of course they'll send you the certificate, and haven't they already done so? (It would be tempting to strike this item off the To Do List now, but of course, you can only do so once you actually *have* the certificate. So you need to wait, and keep that item on the list, and possibly call or write again, in a week or two.) - Next, have person A connect you to person B because that's the person who deals with internships. Find out that person B isn't in today because they only work three days a week.
Day 3:
Call person B again, find out they're home sick. Or something.
Day 4:
Call again...
Etc.
Basically, very few things are ever really *done*. You constantly have to keep stuff on the list, and keep it in mind, sometimes for weeks. And if you're dealing with a list of 40 or so items, even having to keep just ten of those in mind for a prolonged period gets... a bit of a strain.
Gah.
