manage my time more efficiently

aparently i try to cram too many things into too short a timespan. so says the boy. he’s right, though: i woke up at noon, had brunch with friends near home, helped another friend with her hair dye across town, and tried to be on time for dinner at my folks’ on the northwest end of the island by five. i made it to their place at 7.30.

on a positive note, i’ve been using my phone’s organizer feature to my advantage. it’s helping immensely.

I’m making daily To Do lists. These are smaller and more short-term goal oriented than the gargantuan lists I used to make of every little datailed accomplishment I strove for. Instead of making a list of, say, 43 things, and expecting to do them all in one day, I’ll make a list of five or less for each day. This makes the task less daunting, and I feel like I’ve accomplished so much more when I see a list with every item crossed off at bedtime. I hope I can keep this system up, as it’s only been a few days. Sometimes it takes a while for new routines to stick.
