Im made a change in my life today.
I cant get everything done in 24 hours.
So my days are now 36 hours long.
That means each day is now one day and 1/2.
I have to do this.
I make a list each day of what I have to get done.
I never get to all the list.
It stresses me out.
So with 36 hours in my day.
I can now get all those things done.
So starting today, my days will all me messed up. Is it Monday or Tuesday already?
Have a super week my friends here at my lot...

Perhaps you can speed up what you have accomplish by getting some help. Let say you may need 4 hours to complete a task. So, your helper could settle 2 hours work for you. Just redo your plan and you can shorten your hours of work .
If otherwise, you need to come up with your revised calendar and it will truly be very confusing .

Cant afford any help here. And I really dont have many friends here. So I am forced to do it all myself here.

You're making me tired just reading your discussion. Don't kill yourself hon, because then nothing will get done.
I know everything you have to get done is a priority, but maybe?, some are more of a priority than others? Try doing the hardest one's first and getting them out of the way. Otherwise, you'll be talking to us from the hospital and we don't want that.
I wish I could come and help you.

Can your son or brother help you out just a little? Or are they on 36 hour days too?

You do worry me my friend with the amount of hours you are putting in each day, shouldn't you actually be dropping the hours rather than adding the hours on? Remember your stress levels and remember that your body was giving you a massive warning with your heart attack to slow down. Seriously my friend you are going to leads yourself into an early grave, I know I may sound harsh, but I generally do care and it's for your own good that I am saying this!

Its a good idea for you, but i hope this idea is not taken by corporates,otherwise the month will have 45 days instead of 30.That would be more work and less pay for us.Anyways win win situation for you as, Sunday will be 36 hour long.

sometimes i do think like that too but if you pursue to do what you have said, your dirt problem will be relating to your biological time. Your body clock will change and that will matter most because when it is changed, it is really hard to revert it back. Secondly like stated above you must not add works, you need to remake your list so you can make it fit in 24 hours. Do the most important thing first and do the same for the priority of the job neede to be done. And third problem was health. Be cool. Stay calm and all things will be done.

I'm sorry to hear that, but I know how it. My Day's are all messed up all over the place right now too. I never thought to count out how long they actually are though! Lol. Since I spend all day long at my boyfriend's house these days I try to do my online earnings over there because the only internet I have at home is on my phone and it's hard to do my stuff from my phone. Even with it being a smartphone. When I get home at night that is the only time I have to cook, clean, work on my coupons and stuff like that. So, depending on what all needs to be done depends on how messed up my days are.

Hello, maria! Don't push yourself too much. Do you really need a lot of things to be done in a day? If you really need to do that much work, ask for someone to help you.

It is hard to get things done when you know that you want to be online, right? I feel the same sometimes, too. Good thing it is already summer vacation and there is no rush to do the laundry!

Well then you are going to have to make yourself a new calendar. LOL. I know what you mean. It never seems like enough time is in a day. And besides we do have to sleep. That is wasted time right there. If we never had to sleep then we would all accomplish much more in a day.

Yeah I agree with wolfie on this one maria! Please be careful with all of the work you do, it's a lot to put on yourself. And you have to take care of yourself. I don't want you to be put in the hospital because you over worked yourself. Be careful!
I know you have to work hard to survive, but take care of yourself first.

More power to you. I get to stay up a bit late tonight because my daughter has off tomorrow which means I don't have my grand daughter tomorrow. I can stay up late with my husband for a while.

Wow, did I hear you say a day and half, quite incredible but I wanna put up a guess. The only way to achieve this feat is to employ someone that will work for your for approximately 12 hours. Not a bad idea afterall.

Yep, I need 36 hour days here, to get all done that I need to. its a joke if you didnt know that...

Of course I knew it's a joke. No one is entitled to more than 24hrs but I know some people bagging 200hrs and still counting..................

Don't be so stressed. Just do whatever you do. There is no escape. so, why worry ! Even if you will worry , you have to do it. worrying will make you unhealthy. Sometimes back I was also worrying about lack of time. But, once you will made your mind that you have to do it, without worrying you can even do better.
So, my advice is be happy. Always try to remember past happy moments and do everything as regular work. You can do everything then very easily.
So,happy doing

There are many times I wish my days could be 36 hrs long. Or better yet, be super woman and not have to sleep. Especially when I am working, trying to find time to be here, and needing to get stuff done for my business. But I continue to do what I can when I can, and always keep in hoping for the best.

Like you, I also find that 24 hours in a day is not enough for me. Aside from being busy at work, I still have lots to do when I get home. Sometimes, I even have trouble trying to squeeze in 4 hours of sleep at night.
If only I could make the day 36 hours long, then maybe I'd get in 8 hours of sleep! And then maybe I'd feel a little bit healthier.

Hi maria!
Just what our friends are saying. Do take some rest. Accomplish first those which you think are important so that if ever you will not be able to get to those less important, you can just have it done on the following day. Likewise, delegate tasks that don't need much of your attention.
Have a nice day!

I do, I work a few hours then sit down. I just want to get it all done here. How have you been? Have a great day there...

Hi,
Working hard is always better to get success. But you should take rest otherwise it would have bad effect on your health. Sometimes when we are engroced in our work we forget all the relations but it is not fair.

Sure is, but when will it end? I get 5-6 things done on my list. But I add 2-3 more. have a great sat. there...
