If there is anyone out there who knows how to get it all done with the hours we are given, you be sure to let me know, okay? I often feel as if I am backpedaling. Do you remember when you were a kid and you would just pedal backward on your 10-speed bike while coasting? I miss that feeling. I spend so much time trying to keep up with things like my social networks, the blogs I write, the assignments I am seeking, not to mention my family’s needs and the little things that pop up in a life such as birthdays and illnesses.
I need a double so that she can do all of the yucky, admin-type stuff while I do the surfing, reading and playing with the kids. She could do all of the trolling for story ideas, keep on top of the social media and blogging, and maybe clean a toilet or do some dishes while she’s at it.
How do you get everything done? What are the things you let go of?
In the meantime, here are a few links of note. Enjoy!

I never get everything done either, not if I want to pursue my writing seriously :) So I tend to let go of the house (dishes, laundry, cleaning, putting toys away). They get done, just not every day. The funny thing is, I am a more productive writer and feel better about myself when our house is very clean and everything's put away. Maybe some day I'll cave in and hire a cleaning service to come every so often!
Ditto to all you said. I just cleaned the house for a weekend of birthday parties for my son. It felt so nice to have "air" rather than space filled with junk. Now, if they can put it away for a party, can't they just...uh, I don't know...put it away all the time? :)
