Time management

I have not posted in 18 days! Where did the time go? Do you ever feel like that at the end of the work day? I know I do!

Every morning when I get in, I make a "To Do" list for the day...I'm known for my lists. I do these lists for a variety of reasons:

1. I have a lot to do.
2. On any given day, 10 different issues will come up that I need to attend to immediately...thus pushing everything else to the back burner.
3. I do not have a great attention span.

Many people who work in PR and advertising, particularly those who work in agencies and firms, get used to working on one project for an hour, another for 30 minutes, yet another for 10 minutes and might end the day with a two hour wrap up (a two hour marathon if you ask me). When I worked at a PR agency, my client billing sheet reflected two to six clients a day and up to 10 different projects...in increments of 15 minutes. Although this may seem like a bad thing, I find that by working on many projects at once actually keeps my mind fresh, ideas flowing and forces me to be more organized.

Now, if I can only find the perfect balance of time management in my out-of-work life. From planning a wedding to selling a house to buying a car to volunteering to helping friends plan their weddings and baby showers, I don't know which way is up...and my head can't seem to find the pillow early enough each night, so the entire cycle starts over the next morning...
