Then i take the calendar and break down in small steps what has to happen when to make my deadlines and work backwards to break the tasks into smaller steps. I then "outsource" any mundane tasks i have (order paper towels and household goods from amazon, send out my laundry) and spend an afternoon prepping meals for the coming week to have easy healthy meals<br />Ttrockwood(at)yahoo(dot)comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06663703136044038950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5815899999583195587.post-59978464980105132452013-05-08T18:49:24.775-04:002013-05-08T18:49:24.775-04:00I usually end up crying, then having a very short ...I usually end up crying, then having a very short fuse with everyone around me. But after that...or before...depending on where I am with the tasks before me... I will make a list of tasks, even tiny trivial pieces need to be on that list or they may not get done. I will also stay up late to get things prepped for the next day or week just so I can have a few moments of downtime the following day. I don't drink caffeine, but end up in this naturally anxious state. I also plan my stops very methodically so that I have less backtracking to do and save on gas. And while all this is going on, I still say "Yes!" and add more. I am glad that I don't do this too often. And most of the time, all these tasks are for me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06774852240992349483noreply@blogger.com
