How do you find the time to do all of the things you have to do?
What's the secret? I don't seem to have enough time to do even a fraction of the things that I want to/have to do. How do you find the time?

edit: 'cept I'm finding my time is getting sucked away by surfing the 'net now.
my next big step is getting that back under control.

^ Rob!!!! I am shocked. Too much time on Vintage? 
There isn't any magic formula. You just sit down, make a list of all the things you have to do and all the things you want to do, and throw out half of the have-to list...I'm only half kidding. Listing things is a great way to really see where your time is going. Then see what you can cross off. Just keeping all that stuff in your head takes time and energy you could put to better use. Hold on to the list and go back to it periodically for reflection and update - maybe every couple of months? It will be an eye opener. Try it...

Time? Could somebody please describe what that is? What it looks and feels like since I don't seem to have any? I remember hearing about it, though. Wish I had enough of it to make a list. However, being online has replaced a lot of TV time. Wonder what would happen if we cut down on this activity?

I think the older you get, the less time you feel you have.....which is esentially true. Our kids may be gone, but new obligations surface, aging parents, grandchildren, etc.
We do what we have to, which , for us, has to include working, and in the nice weather, put off other things on the "to do" list, so we can go out in the "S"!

It can't be done. Each thing that gets done will spawn three more. Keep things under control as best you can and don't worry about it. "Life is frittered away in tiny details. Simplify, simplify." Thoreau
