My entire week has been chaotic! How chaotic you ask? Well, I'm finishing off research, attending all 4 classes, keeping up with one online class (weekly 100 question exercises, weekly 50 question quizzes and a bi-weekly case study), HESTEC preparations (abstract, poster, presentation), new research meetings (twice a week), homework, party planning and the list goes on! Obviously I have nothing better to do than to work, work, work.

Seriously, though, I need to make some time for "me" in my busy schedule. My mind has been working overtime and it seems to have interfered with my sleeping. I'm lucky if I get three hours of sleep and the entire day I feel light headed (well, more like vertigo-like symptoms)! I've been thinking a lot about my current situation and concluded that I need to make a schedule of things to do on a daily basis and STICK TO IT. It's going to be a really specific schedule, down to the very minute, and no side tracking from it. Normally, I try to do everything at once or I start one task get halfway done and start a new task. I tend to do this that way if I'm asked how much I've done on a particular task I can at least say "halfway done". Now, though, I'm going to try to start a project (in order by priority) and give myself ample time to complete it before I move on. I'll probably disappoint a few people, but hey, they're not in my shoes nor do they have the slightest idea of what a typical day is for me.

So, yeah, just a little update of me trying to get organized. Stay tuned to see how long that lasts, any bets?
