Time management

Drew gave me the greatest gift last night which was several hours of his time to get all MY time in order. I've been totally paralyzed from project overload, unable to move forward at all. He made me come home, write out everything, assign how many hours it would take to get each thing done, and what deadline I had for each project. Then we printed out my June calendar and he scheduled every single day for me.

I am sooooooooo relieved. Well it's still a little intimidating but this is good. And he's already big on accountability cause he called to check. Haha. (I had to do 3 hours on one project today. yeah! It's done! Which is why I am free to blog. :)

Which brings me to my point, which is ... (drum roll)... my list of DISTRACTIONS! Curt suggested I write this list up and look at it during the day and keep reminding myself that none of these things are work and must be saved till after work is done. Very good idea, Curt Nasty! So here we go... let me know if you see yourself in this list. hehe.

Distractions

NONE of these are work.
