I have gone on vacation for a week and planned to do all the things that I need to do. But there never seems to be enough time to accomplish everything. Do you have the same experience?

it really happens all the time...even if you planned what you need to do..there are just things that unexpectedly arose that you need to do..those things lenghtens the time consumed for the work you're doing.. :P

always but my husband is like a sargent major on holiday. he gets us up early and as soon as breakfast is over we are out of the hotel and off. sometimes we clash because a holiday to me a working mother means just that, a holiday, relaxing in the sun and swimming. still a little give and take often proves the best remedy because we soon have to return to work and then time stops!

ya i had the same experiences sometimes.. it happens mostly when we dont plan properly.. in my case though i plan properly.. lack of experience in planning and doing things properly never allow me to do what i want in time.. i hope this might be the reason for everyone..
now a days i got experienced how to do things properly so could do everything in time..

It all depends on how you Plan and how far you are able to stick to your plan.
If you planned and couldn't accomplish means,either you should be good in planning and not so good in executing the plan (or) you plan too many things in little time.
I used to have the same experience in my 20's.I was too enthusiastic and used to plan many things in little time which would never happen.
You will learn with time as i did.Not a real problem.
Have fun planning and execution.
