The last few weeks have been exhausting. Partly this is because my sleep every night has been pretty evenly split between “Awesome” and “Non-Existent.” I have no idea why this is happening, but I do know that getting roughly eight or nine hours of quality sleep every two days is…less than ideal.

The bigger reason though is that I’ve once again taken on more projects than I should have. I have no less than three major writing projects that require daily attention, a few projects of the “domestic arts” variety that I’m doing my best to deal with, and there’s some unrelated family stuff thrown in for good measure.

Oh, and I may be getting involved in a programming project with a friend of mine.

Late last week, I actually broke down and wrote up a list of the things I needed to make continuing progress on. Not a task list or to-do list, but a top-level list of the projects which I either need to complete Real Soon Now, or otherwise need to spend no less than an hour a day on.

There are fifteen items on that list.

I’ve been trying to remember the last time I screwed myself this bad, scheduling-wise. As far as I can tell, that time was “never.” I’ve also been trying to remember the last time I was even half as screwed and managed to get everything done on time and done well. That answer is also “never.”

Good job, Jeff!

Anyway, this obviously isn’t a real post, due to the situation I described above. So here’s a video a friend sent me the other day…

Travelling around with a handful of sheep and a tricked out wagon sounds pretty much like Life Goals to me. Especially this week.

I hope your week is going better.
