please sir, can I have some more?



I have found that recently, there doesn't seem to be enough time in the day to do everything that I want to do. But I reckon it's a good thing - stuff like plopping down in front of the TV has lost it's appeal to me - which is pretty good for a self-confessed couch-potato!

I find that I am counting the hours I have of free time and trying to plan out the best use of it. For example, last night I was thinking about tonight - I have to go to dinner for my grandma's 92nd birthday and I actually thought to myself her dinner is not until 7:30pm, so I have between 6 and about 6:30pm to try to do x, y and z.

The things on my to-do-list are quite funny too because most of them are attempts to organise myself more so I can be more efficient and therefore have more time. Reorganising my wardrobe so I find stuff in the morning, filing away bank statements and bills, reshuffling my bookshelf, sorting through my music so I don't need to skip tracks that I have become sick of - that kind of thing.

It seems that everything has been moved around for the ultimate goal of having more time to do the things that I want to do - but the more I try to achieve this, the further it seems away. The whole search for free time seems fairly elusive to me...

Anyway, I should really get going - my half hour is nearly up!

OK guys, before you ask me where I find the time to blog, I will be the first to say, that you have an excellent point and that I have no answer for that!

Whole heartedly agree on the issue of "finding time to do stuff"

It makes me more angry when people say that daylight saving means you have more things to do.

Which is a totally and utterly incorrect statement of what daylight saving does.

In this day and age, time management skills are essential and the phrase "time is money" has never been more relevent.

PS: And I agree about Northbridge Chinese Restaurant as well.
