There is never enough time in the day; 24 hours is nothing if you have to sleep for at least 4 just to function.

It seems like I am getting into a nasty habit of taking on too many projects and responsibilities for the amount of time I have to offer each one. They all seem to need my attention at the same time; often when one is particularly critical.

So what do I do?

I have to trim the fat; know what is truly important and find the root of its value to me.

Machines are an excellent example. I can almost always figure things out to make them work a bit longer - cars, laptops, washer, dryer, etc...

But I can't keep them all up and maintain a personal life while truly devoting myself to a career / future. OR at least, I am not good enough at maintaining those material items fast enough. ; )

I would love to hear how some of you more 'experienced' folk have managed to do most things yourself yet still find success in your personal / professional life.
