Maybe you can do one thing for 15 minutes, and give yourself a 15 minute break, and alternate like that. Plan out what you need to do. You have to balance your priorities/demands, your wants/shoulds, etc. Out of balance either way is out of balance.

Thanks Rapunzel. Well, I was also thinking of times when I'm not planning ahead, just moment to moment deciding... like on the weekends, I have time that's not committed to immediate demands, but it's hard to really relax and enjoy fun stuff when there's always a list of chores and coursework to get done. (That doesn't stop me from spending plenty of time procrastinating though!
) Sometimes I do try to plan ahead but there's always more to do than there's actually time or that I have energy to do.
I'm sorry if I'm getting off the topic of this thread... if anyone prefers me to make a different thread, I will.
