The Disadvantage of Doing Too Much

Uch. Ever get to the end of a long day, where you've been sitting in front of your computer all morning, running around town all afternoon and then doing housework all evening, and then you look at your To Do list and YOU CAN'T CROSS ANYTHING OFF.

How does this happen? I did my emails, Tweeted the Twitter, Facebooked the masses, paid my bills swept the floor and this was all before lunch. I then took off DT to sing with a lovely old woman (which I say endearingly) for about an hour, got my car washed for the first time since... winter, had a late lunch with a friend, got home and went out for a walk, did laundry, did dishes... And yet, I feel like I've accomplished absolutely and utterly nothing.

I guess I need to take my days off and structure them better, like, write a schedule or something. I do like doing things like that... But then I get carried away writing a schedule, and I end up scheduling my whole month, realizing that I meant to do a bunch of stuff and then my day is gone again!

*le sigh*

At least I'm wasting time to watch the end of Season 1 of The X-Files. I haven't sat down and watched TV in literally months. Just writing that has shocked me. So, if I've been too busy doing other things, why am I not where I want to be? I suppose I'm on my way, like Caillou. I feel like him somedays. Just learning, getting into trouble, being bald, moving along...
