John and I were just talking about this last night because a couple areas that I'm usually really organized in have slipped in the process of trying to be better about organizing & staying on top of OTHER things that I usually flounder in. It's kind of like everything in my life that I need to keep under control and managed just won't fit into both arms... you know, like trying to hug too many kids at once. If I want to grab hold of one area better, then naturally another area slips out of reach.
ARGH!
And I don't even work outside the friggin' house!
Sometimes when I need to get my head on straight I'll sit down and make up a list of ALLLL the things I really need to get done in a week, then look at my calendar and work in what I realistically can accomplish. Sometimes I'll map out a day in 1/2 hour increments just to keep me on track. It helps mentally if nothing else.
