Still Trying

I figure if I say this often enough, it will come to pass....
I often think about the best way to prioritize my time, but am not very successful at it. I agree to things I should not; get sidetracked by ridiculous issues and, generally, wander around procrastinating cleaning and organizing. I can see that, in the coming year, I will have more demands on my time than I can handle, as various organizations begin determining their key players for next year. I will have to pick and choose, saying no to some that may ask. I have to leave time to exercise, do some sort of political activity, and to relax. Sometimes I agree to do something creating a stressful day, but, since it is a long way off, assume it will work itself out. Usually, it does not, and I involve my whole family in my stressful situation. But, in contrast, five years ago, I wasn't doing too much at all and I am thankful for my here and now.
