I know about managing time. I get overwhelmed at times, because there are so many projects I'd like to pursue on top of the have-to and need-to's, y'know? I don't think you sound selfish. It's important to have a relationship with yourself, too, not just everyone else. But I fight the same inner battles as you, I must confess! ~Tui Oh, Sheila… I know about managing time.

Let me know what you think of it. I love being able to cut and paste pix into it, too. I know what you mean about handwriting! Mine has really gone downhill. Plus, I can't write longhand for as long of a period of time as I used to be able to, either. My fingers get tired! ~Tui iDailyDiary really is a fun and easy to use program.

I've traditionally been a pen and paper gal, but man my handwriting is getting bad without all the practice! I'm going to have a look at your suggestion...could be my answer :) Literally hours ago I was torn between physically writing and typing my personal journal.

Other than where I was and what I was doing at what point in time I don't like to reread what I thought about it all. And, like Sheila O., I have piles of stuff I created but haven't used. I don't want anymore of that around. It's a time suck. These days if I feel compelled to put pen to paper to record an account of the day to day I also add a bunch of drawings and scribbling and shove the end results into envelopes and mail them off to a few people. Then it's someone else's problem. After having journalized off and on from the 80s to the 00s I realized I hate diaries.

It is hard for me to manage my time. I have a tendency to jot things down on paper. I have a box filled with scraps of paper. In my file cabinet is a whole drawer of things to catalog, discard or use. I seriously need a week all to myself with no grandkids, kids, friends, relatives or anyone. It seems whenever I take time off my time gets eaten away with social stuff and I feel selfish even saying that because it's the relationships that are (or should be) the most important thing in our lives. I long to be a hermit, but then I wonder if I really do, because, obviously, I'm not. haha. Sometimes I look back at the thoughts and observations I had and wonder what the heck was I thinking.
