Dear multitaskers and busy people
How do you do it?
I've spent all day (literally, from 10 in the morning until now (half past ten) with breaks to have lunch, have a bath, and wash up) checking and naming picture files (pictures of manuscripts, hence need to check - they have to be properly legible to be usable) - there are about a thousand of them. I have I think sixty or so to go, but my brain has completely packed in and I can't bear to finish it. I had at least two other things I wanted to/needed to do today. Every day I get further and further behind on my massive list of things to do, and pretty much every day (it seems like) another thing gets added onto the other end.
I think I need two things:
1) a week sealed in a cell with all the things I needed to get finished by the beginning of August
AND/OR
2) an equivalent of 'computer says no', only for me. 'Miss Annersley says no'. 'Sorry, the time/ability/willingness to comply with your request does not exist in this system'.
