i'm going crazy!
i guess i signed up with so much of the following:
1. pay to click sites
2. social networking sites that pay
3. survey sites that pay
aside from these i volunteered on:
1. babysitting
2. re-painting school chairs as part of our company's foundation
and of course, my daily/weekly tasks
1. my work (call center agent, graveyard shift)
2. my house chores (well, luckily these are limited to bathing my 2 pet dogs (khalifa and cash), once a week grocery, fixing the bed)
3. my personal life (at least try to schedule one date per week, ha-ha)
4. my spiritual life (daily prayers, mass during Sundays)
5. monitor Mama's BP and cholesterol levels, watch her food intake.
there's so much to do, with little time.
what about you? how do you manage your daily activities?
any tips?

Plan ahead- get a diary and just plan plan plan..
Your life pretty much reflects my own..always on the go with something or other.. and in all honesty at times you just cannot do everything..
Accept your not super human (otherwise youll just burn out), and just plan what is humanly manageable for you.. not only will you have direction for your day..but it will cut your stress levels to a minimal level..
Keeping Busy is great..but dont overdo it..(",)

hi vivamir..
i recall a joke about working hard.
they say that when you do everything you try to be BATMAN... doing all heroic stuff, saving the world, etc...
when you falter, when your relationship with your family gets affected due to lack of time, when your health gets at risk, that's the time you realized that i am BUT-a-MAN

a friend of mine says its my personality to rush things.. hehe.. and there's a little truth on that.. i really suck on time management,... i admire single moms, because you are the greatest multi-tasker and achievers ever.. its not easy going to work and taking care of a family :)

Blackberry. I manage all my time with my blackberry. I will set certain vibrations when it's time to check on cooking or go online and do surveys or even walk the dog. I manage to achieve this by spending Sunday nights planning out my week. I always manage to achieve this and I manage to get by with 7 hours sleep. Fantastic idea so here is what I recommend
Plan out your week on Sunday
Buy a device that you can carry around to notify you when you should be doing something
Get rest
Always try to finish tasks early and ALWAYS set more time on your schedule for doing tasks than what you think they may take to do.

ahm, buying a device sounds like a great idea.
the more traditional way that i've tried is having an organizer, however, sometimes i cannot follow the timeline/tasks that ive established making me more frustrated.. hehe.
i try multitasking a lot of times but just thinking all the times that i have to accomplish in a day is enough to ruin my current momentum.
thanks for your response

nyah!
you think so?
there are times when i realize that and i get afraid sometimes that im trading online work for some quality time with my friends and family...
anyway, im enjoying my online work a lot, iam able to communicate with a different crowd and learn a thing or two from them

Hi there!
We have the same problem of managing time especially. we are lacking of time when we take off because so many things to do..laundry, fixing the house, doing groceries, meeting friends..and also the online survey makes you sit for a long time in front of the computer.. The First thing to do is if you are loaded of internet online survey and everything unsubscribed it if you dont have time for yourself. have your self a free time..

hello kittyjoie
i guess the answer to our problems is a good time management. hehe.
we had a discussion in the office last time that it helps a lot if we can distinguish if a certain task is important/not important, and urgent/not urgent...
