Catch-up post. Busy, catch 22's

I'm 2 weeks behind and I don't see that letting up any time soon. So this has to be very short. I suppose this one will be for two weeks ago.

I don't remember what happened two weeks ago.

I had a three day weekend and finally got some time to clean up my room. By the end of the week, I'm exhausted and need a break from my normal work, and it usually takes the full two days to be ready to get back into working, or rather, there is lots of maintenance, weekly stuff that needs to happen every week, including the online volunteer class I teach, so I end up having little time/energy for additional things. I do a little, but it feels like a small chip in a big mountain. So three day weekends are a godsend.

My room is a good indicator of my state of affairs, and my desk is scattered with lots and lots of work. Various things that need doing, important and less important.

I think the problem is not having specific places for everything, and not having a habit of putting everything in it's place right away, but to turn that into a habit first it has to be a time and energy intensive conscious action, and I don't have enough of those resources to create a whole bunch of new ones right now.

It's a catch 22, I don't have enough time/energy to implement changes that will give me more time/energy.

Working on it, I'll get there, but it's getting there slowly.

OK, that will be two weeks ago.
