There Is Something Wrong With My Daily Planner...

I have this one personality flaw that I can't seem to fix. That flaw is that I take on more than I can handle and I wind up with not enough time. Something always has to give. Sometimes it's sleep or eating. That's not good.

The past couple weeks I've been adding and adding a bunch of things that just piled up on me this past week. I became completely overwhelmed.

I have a system that keeps me in balance. My mistake is that I wasn't strict with it the past two weeks. It's amazing how things can pile up. I schedule my day in blocks. I have certain blocks that are constant. Things like work and working out. Other blocks are used to schedule plans and extra curricular activities. I can move those blocks around if need be. It's a good system. I just have to stick with it.

So this past weekend I had to drop a few things to make room for others. I had a paper due for class so I dropped a men's leadership conference this past weekend. I dropped some running time to make room for some ministry opportunities that I promised to help with. I'm behind on some websites at work too. That's not good.

Hopefully this week I can catch up and get back on my block schedule. It's not fun when your life becomes overwhelmed to the point where you can't keep promises or complete responsibilities.
