Where Does My Time Go

         A wise person once said " Everyone gets the same amount of time in a day we all get the same 24 hours: It is how we spend these hours that is important." 

        I completed the few exercises and I have some thoughts on the results. I do not think that I procrastinate. I think that there are a things that I do not like to do but I know that they need to be done. It is called life. What my issue is  is that I have a ton of responsibilities. In my life I have the following that fills my life:

My step dad had artery bipass surgery 3 years ago. He was sent home with Hospital Grade Staph Infection twice. This caused a lengthy hospital stay and more severe complications. Although he had not needed medical care since then, he was hospitalized last week and had to have emergency surgery. He had a blood clot that was moving toward his heart. I am now caring for him full time again. By the way I believe in having  a quality of life. If he stays on his own he will be where he was 3 years ago and will be living in his recliner because he will be too afraid he will have another complication. So staying in the recliner is better than moving around. This is his mindset. 

I have my volunteering that I do every week. I am responsible for mentoring abandoned kids. This takes up 40+ hours a week. 


I have my schooling. I know that I have to work 30 hours if I want an A. I put in a lot of effort in to getting my classes done. 


So when something goes wrong it is hard to regroup or refocus. I was hospitalized this past week for an intestinal flu. I ended up with the version that almost cost me my life ( literally). I was released this morning. So I am now re working my priorities and reworking my time to get back on track. 

  The issue is that I have to learn to say no more. I have to learn to budget my time, I also need to re evaluate how to accomplish all that I am responsible for. 

Now by doing my worksheets, I realized that I can accomplish all that I need to but I need to really plan out how I do it. I can not change all the responsibilities that I have so I need to figure out how to make things work for what I am doing right now. I am sure I will think of more things as the week progresses so I am sure that I will write a continuing blog.
