There are just some things you must do and only you know what they are. Prioritize them 1, 2, 3, etc. As Mark Twain says, do the hard things first. It will make the rest of them taste better.
Wanna do is not the same as gotta do. Put them on your list, but not at the top.
May do is about the same as ain’t gonna do. There are just some things that I am not going to do, even if I say, I may do them.
Interruptions – can they be avoided? Absolutely. If you work at home, like I do, let your family know there are times when you can’t be interrupted. Find a quiet place where you can be alone. If you must go to the library or the coffee shop, do it.
If you are interrupted, be polite but firm and say, “I know this is important and I want to make sure I take the time to listen. Can we set an appointment”? Maybe the problem will solve itself!
Multi-tasking – does it work? Yes and no, mostly no. If you try to do two things at the same time, one of them is going to get the most attention. That’s just a fact you can’t ignore. Best advice about it, DON’T!
Sincerely,
Kathy Berry

Time we start setting new examples for others, our followers, to follow so we all feel we have gained more time.
Thank you for this post, really makes one stop and think how much time we really waste.
But as far as planing I do need to work on that when I blog here. My website blogs are on time as usual.
Something I do when I need to plan something out is I take a scrapbook and I write down what days I need to do something for myself and what I need to blog about here.
