Something that helps me a lot is setting specific goals. That's because looking back on a day, there's always time that got wasted, and for me, at least, that wasted time is an important part of getting anything done in the first place.

Did I waste time posting on Knife Fight today? Oh yeah, baby, but I couldn't have written 3,000 words about Ars Magica and D&D. Now if I can just finish grading my students' games I'll be done with my goals for today ....

My problem with goals is that I always set them beyond my capacity. That's what this is: Trying to get a sense of what's realistic for me to do in one day. Once I've done that, I can begin setting goals.

Are you going to tell me about your 1000 kings play sometime?

Yes: after finals, grading and this paper are done!!! If I put one more thing on my "have to do" list right now, I am going to be a very snarly Jess.

Getting a sense of your capacities, by the way, is definitely smart. I'm very curious to see what you do all day, for that matter!

No problem. I understand too much on your to do list. I'm just always on tenterhooks until I hear back from playtests.
