Most people can understand the endless challenge of conquering the 'to do' list in a timely fashion. Here I am on Sunday night, wanting to do a bit of school related work, watch a movie with my man, baking something, read a book, make dinner, maybe work out, call friends I have seemed to ignore...the list continues. So what becomes priority?
Since my first year of college, I have slowly developed the ability to 'multi task.' I wouldn't say this is a trait women can master but for some reason it becomes a necessity in a woman's life. The question then of "how can I do it all?" comes from years of training. Trust me. When I entered my second year of college, I was on a varsity team, working a semi-full time job, taking a full course load and still having a social life. Was it possible to do all these things? Yes, but what I found was I didn't do any of them well. I didn't completely put all of my effort towards one aspect of my life but stretched myself between them all. I quickly learned how to do many things with half an effort besides doing one thing with full attention.
As a result my multi tasking abilities, I seem to have a hard focusing and staying focused on one task. It is as though my mind and body want to do many things within an hour. Maybe this is ADD or I don't know how to do one thing for longer than 30min.
So what becomes priorty on this Sunday night? Most all of it but with half the effort....and I hear if from my better half ;)
