There is No Time

I don't know where the time goes.
My work hours are long, to be sure. Out the door before 7am to hit the gym a little before work. Back home around 8pm if I'm lucky. More often past 8pm. Ideally trying to sleep by midnight or 1am, which does not leave a lot of time for the creative endeavors. That's about 4 hours of "freedom" in a weekday.
I've got to be better about getting the most out of that time.
Okay. I can do this. I know I have too many "creative procrastination projects" I'm juggling, but I can get them done, I just need to hunker down. I need to get these projects done and finish writing the play I've been kicking around for too long now. I am so frustrated with my lack of progress, but I'm not going to waste more time on self-flagellation.
Each day is a new opportunity to do better.




You can do it :)
Don't feel guilty. That's such a tiny window for creative writing: I need many many hours to settle in and be productive.
You could tell yourself, like I sometimes do, the first step is just opening an old project and getting acquainted with it again. Or writing one paragraph. Taking the pressure off, you can chip away a bit at a time!
Be sure to take some quality "me time" too :) I always have to remind myself of that!
Look at you, problem-solver :-)
Yes, I do that, too. I just... need to be a little more disciplined than I've been.
I love fixing things!!!!! :D
I agree with everything Ellis said. I believe in you. You can do this.
Thank you! It's this election, too. I get home and pass out while watching MSNBC coverage.
