I need a life coach. And a writing coach. And a personal trainer, and a dietitian. I need someone to tell me how to manage the time I have. I don't know! I get hardly anything done and I have tons of time, truly.

today, though, today (after the agony and horribleness of weeks and weeks of nothing [fic-wise] written) I wrote 1740 words of something that is either a kink bingo fill or the beginning of a real-ass novel. Erotic novel. That I want to self publish because I have always wanted to self publish something! so I don't think I'll be posting it yet. maybe if I write more and get this actual real-ass novel finished, I can post this beginning as a teaser. I think it would make a great teaser. :D

het. ihni how this happened. the only time I think about het sex anymore is in a boys-turned-into-girls way. but then this thing happened. *hands*

I have paperwork and a phone call I need to make in order to do the whole financial aid thingy for school. I've been putting it off. I might be trying to sabotage, because I am scared to death of school.

okay. just wanted to say hi. going to go away and go back to writing now. :D?

say hi. I miss you all, so say hi to me.

HI, BB, HI!

I have never mowed a lawn, but I can imagine it is hell. It is sooooo hot, too. Yes.

I get overwhelmed very easily, both by having no set schedule or list and by lists. :\ But if I make very very short lists (with one or two things) I get things done. I need to make a list for tomorrow and put 'do paperwork' on it so I can get the stuff done. I doubt I'll do it today. Anyway, short lists have worked in the past, I wish I did not get so overwhelmed about the responsibility of making lists. :|

Sometimes I make multiple lists or sub-lists, eg. a broad list of shit to get done over a week to keep my eyes on the prize, and then maybe a daily list broken down into tasks. It's very satisfying to cross things off, even if it's like, 'eat breakfast' (aim low and win more, baby). And then I add or remove things if I have to. It's just for my eyes so I try not to stress, although sometimes when I actually SEE how much I have to get done all written down, I clutch at my head and wonder why I put things off so damn much.

It's an ongoing learning process, I guess.

Also, there are a zillion organization apps for iOS, android, desktop, any platform you care to use. Ever experimented with any? You might hit on something that works well for you. Me, I just buy small notebooks from walmart and then scribble in them but everybody's different.

That sounds too stressful and overwhelming for me. I'm glad it works for you, though.

I looked at the first app that showed up on Google, and organization is scary! D: I think I will stick to writing down three things at a time on a piece of paper.

*smooch*

For me, stress of lists < stress of unfinished tasks. Like I said, everyone's different, haha. Good luck with the organization thing! I think baby steps are best, I changed my ways a lot throughout university.
