what a busy week.

It didn't feel like a very busy week. I had enough time to explore hobbies, relax, have fun... =) Maybe I just take better notes than many people do. If this really does sound like a busy week, check out my notes on How to Do a Lot. Thanks for dropping by!

I always wanted to have a blog like this so i could share my personal ideas, plans and goals. Too bad i am sooo sooo busy with work, school and business. I feel like the 24/hr a day isn't enough.

(EDIT: Please post as yourself, not as your website.)

We all have the same 24 hours. ;) Choose your priorities, figure out how to work more efficiently and effectively, and make the most of the time that you do have. Be honest with yourself. It's never about not having enough time, it's about having different priorities. Some people prefer to watch television or read books more than blogging. That's their choice, and if it works out for them, good. Others find that the time they invest in thinking things through helps them with work, school, and business. =)

Tom Peters said that your calendar never lies (hat-tip to Brian Storms for the link). What does your calendar say about you?
