Time Management

Well, here I am again - and a long time has passed since my last blog entry.
Now, it's not because I've not wanted to post anything, and it's not because I've been too busy - it's mainly down to time management.

I have often lamented that there are not enough hours in the day, if only I had more time etc etc., but if I'm going to be totally honest, it's most likely just poor planning on my part.  I could easily fit all the things in that I need to do, or want to do, if I just organised my time better.

I will spend time playing Tower Madness on my smartphone when I could be texting or emailing a friend.  I dither about in StumbleUpon rather than spending time in my shed.  I browse Listverse when I could be making muffins.

My trouble is, I like these distractions.  I like to laze in the bath for an hour.  I like to watch a film, make model kits in my shed, and I also like writing - writing this blog, or my sibling blog on Military Modelling, owr writing the journal I have kept for my daughter since the day she was born.  (She is 8 now).  But I find I need to be in the right mood to write - whereas I can muddle through the other activities.  Writing, to me, demands a much greater attention and so cannot just be squeezed in between other jobs.

What I think I need to do is list all the things I like to do, and work my way through the list until I cover them all - including scheduling time to write.
