Do you have any time management issues? How well do you handle your time?
our time management issue is mostly balancing between the fact that there are a bunch of us who are always wanting to do different things *and* the fact that our health isn’t great, so that means that we can’t make plans ahead of time and be sure of following through. like, let’s say one part wants to spend the day baking, and we say, “ok, we’ll do that on thursday.” and then thursday comes, and our stupid body has punked out and all we can do is rest in bed.
so it’s two different types of time management issues. hard enough when we’re feeling physically good, and trying to figure out how to fit a dozen people’s projects into 16 or 18 hours a day (assuming we’re sleeping like a normal person!), but then add in the fact that we have to juggle all of that with random unpredictable days when our body says, “nope, no projects at all. all you’re up for is laying in bed, watching tv if you’re lucky.”
so that’s frustrating, and makes things really difficult. also makes us less inclined to bother making a schedule, ’cause why bother?
We totally Identify with the bedridden TV syndrome. It’s getting worse as we age. Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, we’re coming to believe are psychosomatic but that still don’t mean we can shrug it off when it hits us. It could be the result of individual alters running the body ragged, no food, no sleep. Trying to get as much as possible accomplished whilst in control…
