I've had a theory- as have others, that the busiest people are the ones who are most productive with their time. For example, back when I was planning my wedding and writing my master's thesis there was something family related that needed to get done. I recall that I was the only one who put it on the list to do and got it done. It seemed like, out of necessity, I had become uber-organized and therefore was super productive with my time. If it got put on my list, it got done.
I'm hoping that something similar will work for me this quarter. The class I'm taking is already taking up way too much of my time, just for the reading. Let alone, I am supposed to be writing my dissertation proposal AND work at my job 40+ hours per week. Add to that the fact that the triathlon is about 16 weeks away and I need to get on a serious training regimen (that and I want to look good for my sister's wedding). So, I'm thinking that because I've got so much going on, I will be able to get all of it done because of the fact that I've got so much going on...I know it is a bit of a tautology (circular logic), but I'm banking on it.
Because the truth is, I'm not really willing to let any of it go. I want to do it all. Maybe I'm asking for trouble...

One thing I have always known is that Elizabeth Litzler can do whatever she sets her mind to doing.
AND, I agree with you that the more there is to do the more I can get done. It is like it helps in the filtering out of extraneous information, and I get a sort of calm efficiency. It isn't my ideal state, as I often end up completely wasted at the end of the run, but it is effective for the defined period.
Good luck...hugs!
Thanks Jeremiah! I appreciate the support. I'll need it!
