Making a list is awesome. It will give you an idea of what is most important to do first. I, too, get caught up in the multi-tasking, and then I can usually find myself *****y, annoyed, depressed, and scattered. Especially for women, we have been told by society that we are the multi-taskers, and that is just what we do, and we're even great at it. My gosh, housewife (if you are one), raising children (if you have them), cleaning house/laundry, cooking, shopping, bill paying, job or career, maybe even a business, perhaps education on the side, etc, etc, etc. Do I sense burn-out?? I think we need to think about ourselves more often than not, and what we want. I know I go back and forth. I get caught up in the multi-tasking, go through the moods, then switch gears. Sometimes the switching gears can take a while but I finally get out of my muck, eventually.
