Annual Psychological Eval

Are you a "list" person?

Must you grapple around for your "to do" list before you can start your day?

Or is your day like a well-thought-out-and-presented thesis for your PhD?
Does your "to do" list have bullet points and bold lettering?

Or do you accomplish things with the randomness of flipping a coin? Are you a sticky note person with little instructions and reminders all over the place, trying to see a big picture in the random layout of notes like a Rorschach inkblot test?

I'm struggling. I keep increasing my work-load and increasing my interests and activities without cutting back or decreasing anything. As a result, I'm overwhelmed and way behind. I don't do anything well and I too often do things just enough to get by. I'm confused, unfocused, stressed, ineffective and inefficient. Or maybe I always feel this way in December after a full year of putting things off and not completing each day's "to do" list, putting more and more items on "tomorrow's to-do list." And by December, that baby's long. Too long to accomplish anything so I wad it up, throw it away and begin a fresh new year in January with a short "to-do" list and 364 days ahead of me to accomplish it.
