I almost screamed!!! I do not want more hours because then I would have more to do. I think for me it is not about prioritizing but attempting those projects I love first. Sometimes not such a good idea, because then the ones I dread get shoved to the side, sometimes for a few days. I find having a deadline helps in finishing any project.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30652620.post-16755570991973214802009-02-07T04:52:00.000-08:002009-02-07T04:52:00.000-08:00"I'd like to change my attitude beginning today.

Today, I was up early, made a batch of bread, got several pages of writing done, and finished arranging some shelves. But most days, I tend to drag on projects.

I have this mental list of what I want to do each day, which piece I want to work on etc. but then there's the issue of which one should I work on first, or should I start this new things that's been rolling around in my head for a while?<BR/><BR/>I sometimes end up just doing a bit here and a bit there and I too feel like I have done a lot but then I am not really seeing it. So...... I guess it's focus and discipline.<BR/><BR/>Anyway your thoughts are dead on.

When I rise with a list of necessities but with GOD first as priority and then address the day as living not exisiting then much more gets done.<BR/><BR/>Also, long ago I replaced the word 'busy' with productive. It made a difference. I'm fruitful (productive) far more than I'm busy!<BR/><BR/>Love ya Terri!LisaShawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01847564334928464883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30652620.post-90307472071604157042009-02-06T07:05:00.000-08:002009-02-06T07:05:00.000-08:00How I can relate!
