To be honest I’ve been struggling to budget my time. I’ve had to really cut back from blogging and commenting, and stick more to time with the family (the things that matter).

She is so cute!! It gets easier as they get old, sort of. Not much. There is still laundry, homework, meals, taxi, etc.

When I have time to do something I want to do, I sit down to do it (writing) then end up flipping on the TV and vegging. BAD!!! ME.

@AverageJoe, the podcast will be available this Monday coming up? I will be sure to keep my eyes and ears peeled. Thanks for the heads up.
I appreciate hearing everybody's opinions and suggestions!

Wow! I love time management discussions. I don’t know if you’ve heard our podcast (it’s okay if you haven’t and have no intention to….), but we’re tackling this topic on Monday’s episode. Time management expert Laura Vanderkam is joining us to talk about what successful people do before breakfast and how they manage their time.

I can’t ever figure out where my day goes either. Now I try to carve out times for critical tasks and “me” time, and the rest of the day just try to keep up

We don’t have kids yet, but I hear you on time disappearing. Sometimes it feels like I’m just treading water trying to get everything done.

Since our washer and dryer flooded we’ve been re-wearing pants a time or two between cleanings, so I too am intimately acquainted with the “sniff test”

Having kids makes time go so much faster. It seems like it’s crazy when it’s the weekend already then it’s over in the blink of an eye.

I think you can always improve anything! I constantly reflect on my decisions and how I spend my time. When I stop thinking about these things, I will stop improving. Since I am constantly learning, I will never stop changing and improving!

@John – haha! By pants, I meant trousers, which sounds terribly old-fashioned to say here.

We live in an apartment with coin-operated laundry facilities in a (incredibly creepy) basement, so M. in particular will ask for the ‘sniff test’ before he feels forced/obligated to do any laundry. I on the other hand will hand wash most of my garments in our kitchen sink (or while I shower!) Trousers and jeans are a bit trickier and require the washing machine, however.

Hmm.
The sniff test on M’s pants. Then I remembered the transatlantic differences in language!

Anyway having a toddler is a sink for time. Maybe somewhere in the universe there is a repository for all those hours spent with junior members, along with the missing socks and stuff. We would probably need a few dimenions added on.

I’m going to blame Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest for most of my time!!

My day usually starts with checking email, Facebook Yakezie forum, and blog. Then I go round and read and comment on all of my favorite blogs. Then I check my big 4 time sucks again. Get some actual work done. Check everything again.

I once read a productivity tip that recommends working in 25 minute bursts then break for 5 minutes. Some days, I think I do the opposite.
