Busy, Busy, Busy

Holy crap, I’m up in my neck of things to do, and responsibilities I’m falling behind on. As I mentioned before, one of my New Years resolutions was to be more efficient with my time, namely so I could live up to said responsibilities without falling behind. So far, things aren’t working out so well.

• First, my work at GamingTrend is falling behind. I’m not posting enough News stories, nor am I getting my game reviews in on time. Arrg!
• Secondly, my web design clients are suffering. I was supposed to have one of my clients’ website done before X-Mas, and it still hasn’t been finished.
• Third up, my personal projects aren’t getting as much attention as I’d like. This blog I wanted to update every 2 days, but currently I’m getting a post up every week. I’m also wanting to create some videos for the blog with my camcorder
• Fourthly, I’m moving in to a new house and getting all my stuff packed, repacked, unpacked, etc. I don’t know where half my stuff is, and it’s getting a bit annoying.
• Fifth, I’m spending more time with family and friends. I try to watch an occasional college basketball game with my stepdad, babysit my little brother, help with dishes and dinner, and other helpful things.
• Sixth, personal requirements are also taking up time. I’m doing my GED since I never was in High School (homeschooled), I’m getting ready for college, going to appointments for my US citizenship, and more.
• Seventh, I’m doing a bit of part-time work in construction and contracting jobs my mom’s boyfriend is taking. Nothing too major, but a couple hours every week is lost due to this.
• Eighth, I’m trying to get a Podcast deal going with some friends, doing some podcast reviews for VGPub, and writing news for my Battlefield clan.
• Ninth, every night is dedicated to my Battlefield clan, and we spend a lot of time practicing and getting better. In addition to writing news, I also am doing match writeups, and quite a bit of organization and research tasks. It ain’t too easy.

I’m really starting to drown in my obligations, and so I really need to spend more time doing important work, and less time having fun & being distracted. So far, it’s been a losing battle. It’s very frustrating.
