all the free time that i thought i would have really doesn't seem to exist. i thought i would have finished a lot more projects by now. it's still early in april though. if i crack down on managing my time more efficiently, i think i will become more satisfied with my progress. i promised to do things for several friends and relatives and feel bad because i haven't done them yet. right now i feel like things in general are in disarray because i have so many household chores to finish up. i've got to tackle those first. household chores are never ending though. they're cyclical. that's why i feel like i never really progress because in a few days, once again it's time to tackle items around the house. i don't like the idea of others touching my things, (different organizational sense), but i can see why people who can afford it hire maids.
