My day-to-day work is stressful and full...and I often spend the day on the computer, wrenching my brain around concepts, rationales, and budgets.
In my private life
- I bowl on Wednesdays. **Update 2** I'm dedicated to finding us a sponsor for t-shirts this year!
- I chair a Board of Directors of the best event in town, the Okanagan International Children's Festival.
- I'm a member of the Board of the networking organization Penticton Women in Business.
- I'm going to be directing a short, one-act play for performance the first week of December.
- I'm helping to organize a local congregation's annual Walk to Bethlehem (a 3-day re-imagining of life in the Ancient Near East, complete with children's pageants and anachronisms).
- I periodically write book reviews.
- I (try to) have a social life.
- I'm presenting at BookCamp Vancouver on Friday.
- Oh, and I'm married, and trying to have a relationship that's more than coffee in the morning.
Then there are the things that I want to find time to do:
- Work on my book idea with my buddy who lives in Korea.
- Start work on a MBA.
- Catalogue my movies.
- Spend more time studying French.
- Blog more often.
- **Updated** Organize my photos, make albums even.
- **Updated** Learn to use Photoshop.
- **Update 2** I want to get a conversation salon started in town.
I would welcome your thoughts and suggestions.

Keep the bowling and the husband.
Thanks, Nag. Definitely priorities. :D
Ditch the job, keep the husband.
Well, Anonymous...if I ditch the job, the currently unemployed husband will be less appealing.
But tempting!
Have 11 kids.
Ah, Lyd...If I had had 11 kids, I wouldn't have taken on so much else.
Nor would they let you on that plane to get 'free flights' that Metro wants to get on. Odd coincidence that comment and his post!
Metro and I have this bad habit of reading each others' minds...but in this case, it's you reading his. Hmm.
You MUST be joking about the MBA, right? Studies show it's nearly valueless unless you want to work at KPMG. What do you want it FOR?
So how's it going with the prioritising?
The MBA, or MPA if I want to stay in government...but I'm still thinking on that one.
The prioritizing? At work, simple. In my life? By deadline, then inclination. I just need to take on less!
