um.... hi?

I'm pretty bad about posting and keeping up on here. It's not that I don't love all of you, but I'm out of the habit of checking LJ during procrastination downtime at work, and the rest of the time I'm just busy (or hiding from being busy). Of course, I'll come here to ask questions of you. Thank hp for responses from alexandral or I'd feel like everyone was

Hi :) I do read your posts!

I totally understand where you are coming from ... and I am no where near as busy as you! I am the queen of lists. I have lists on my desktop and I make notes of EVERYTHING. I enjoy the crossing off of things accomplished. But I do wish there were more hours for "me" time. That would be awesome.

So, what kind of lists? Like, general things you want to do? Break down the general thing into bits? And how do you schedule things in to even cross things off?

I usually break things down by *when* I want them done by. For instance I want to go see a show in November with my parents. That is a "future" list that I usually make a point of looking at during the weekend when I have more down time. Things that also go on this list is remembering to buy birthday presents, or send bday cards. Things that are important to me that I do not want to forget. I actually keep a sister list to this one in a notebook I carry around with me. I write other things like book titles, movie suggestions etc. that people might tell me when I am not in front of my computer. I usually add what I write here to my list on my computer. For me it is helpful to remind me to take "me" time because I often feel depressed if a show or movie comes and goes and I do not get to go to it purely because I forgot
