168 Bookkeeping Your life:

having enough time for everything

Do you...

...often feel you are behind on things?

...notice that the urgent often pushes out the important?

...hope you'll be able to take a break sometime in the future?

...find that you often need to cancel or re-promise your agreements with others?

...discover that you can't find time to do things to take care of yourself?

...notice that you don't have time to followthrough on things that you start?

...feel that you have too many things on your plate?

...think that you should be more efficient?

...believe that your problem would be solved if you had 48 hours in a day?

...find yourself cutting corners on sleep, exercise, and good nutrition?

...often think you don't get enough done?

...frequently find yourself in breakdown or emergency mode?

...sometimes/often feel overwhelmed or pressured?

...wonder where the time went?

...find yourself thinking about the next thing you have to do while doing this thing?

Do any of these resonate?
