my "to do" list

[KristinCB]

is a mile high and i feel COMPLETELY overwhelmed I have so much to do and i'd kinda rather to do none of it but it needs to get done. GAH! I need more hours in the day - and a bit more sanity too

and a nice bubblebath, some good coffee and some chocolate desert or ice cream

Start with the easy stuff K. Then you can build up steam for the more involved stuff. Like, if I need to clean the kitchen, first I'll empty or load the dishwasher. Then I'll do the sink. Then I'll do the counters. Then I'll finish with the floors. By starting at the top of it, instead of say with sweeping with the floors, I won't get frustrated when I go and do the counters and then end up with dirty floors again from the crumbs.

One thing at a time K. That's all you can do.

I can relate! My to-do list has been a mile long lately and when I have more than one "branch" of my life that is piled up (housework, projects, work work) I get even worse! This week I found it easiest to do the bare minimum in one aspect (housework HAHA) so I could focus on the other stuff (work) until I got all caught up with that aspect. Now I can focus on the other aspect of my to do pile. And, I took an hour every day to relax at the end of the day...else I lose it! ((hugs))

I've been like that recently too with school starting up. My problem is that I feel like I will forget stuff if I don't put it on the to do list, but then I get overwhelmed with too many items, so I've just started putting a later date when I know I will be less busy (i.e. - once all the kids are in school) on the less critical items. ((hugs)) We will survive!

I know I'm with ya lady, so atleast your not alone.. we need more hours a day. Usually when things get so pilled up on a to-do list its because either you don't wanna do them or they are so time consuming I always put them off.. and off... and get to them eventually. It sure piles up that way

[4noisyboys]

I'm right there with ya!

I think you just need to sit down and play me a game of WWF!!

Yeah, I've been feeling so overwhelmed by to-dos, too. Just doing the absolutely necessary things eats up so much of the day that I never have time to get to anything else. I refuse to give up the couple of hours I spend scrapping or online in the evening because without that time off I get even more overwhelmed. I feel like things are hanging over me. I know it'll get a lot better when my older 2 go back to school in a few weeks, but that seems like a long time away right now.
