Failing Me...

I broke down today and got myself a good daytimer. After double-booking myself (twice) this week I realized my personal system is failing me. There was a time (while living in Ontario), that I lived by my daytimer. I carried it around with me, I scheduled everything and everyone, it held my to-do list etc. It also made me feel very 'bound'.

Since moving to the west, I still carry a daytimer around everywhere, but it is called my brain. And, up unitl now it has worked well. I even have my own personal phonebook up there! I do still use a calendar, but it is at home on the wall which is no go to me when I am out and about. Lately I have been overwhelmed with 'stuff' and bombarded with dates, appointments, commitments and things to do. I have also become forgetful and it really sucks!

I hope I can get back into the habbit of a daytimer. I am so funny that if it is not laid out in a comfortable fashion, if it is too small, or too big, or too detailed I just won't write in it or use it. This one looks good and I am hoping for the best.

This really stretches me beyond my wiring because I am more of a 'fly-by-the -seat-of-my-pants-spontaneous-spur-of -the-moment type of person. I just can't help it, it's me! And I'm quite okay with this even though I sometimes create stress for a certain someone ;)

By the way, I also broke down and BOUGHT mini cupcakes for Julia's class for her birthday instead of MAKING them which I was going to add to my endless list for today. What is happening to me???
