Actually, I was thinking about this today (and the past two weeks). My schedule has gotten better in some areas, worse in others. I can't believe that it's been over a year and half since I posted that... ell last year was a whirlwind where I was not at home for close to half the year.

I now only spend about 50 hours at work and doing work stuff. Well, that is when I am here at home. When I travel, it can be anything. And then I have to do everything to catch back up when I get back home. My sleep time could be a little better, but it isn't bad(~50/week).

The next issue is that I just moved, and there are a lot of little projects that turn into big projects. I hope to be done by February for the most part. But, 40 hours/week for the past two weeks in addition to working 50 hours isn't easy. But I want to get done so I can move on.

Yes, internet time was a big factor. In the winter here, TV and internet are easy things to do. But they also take away from time I should be out socializing. And that is the plan for once I get my house organized and fixed, is to find more things to do with other people around this area. It isn't easy though, since most other people hang out at home as well.

And my number one goal for 2008 is to automate everything that is easy, but takes time in my life. Like I have setup automatic bill payments for everything from now until Dec 2008. Monitorng stuff is easy, and I don't have to worry about changing my schedule to find time to get on-line and pay some bill that is due tomorrow. The TV schedule doesn't dictate my life, neither should bill payment schedules.

I do need to start exercising more, but I am in good shape still because all this work is a workout in itself.

I'm sure I am going to re-evaluate things once I get settled in and get my life somewhat back to normal. But, I still have the same issues as before.

I'm figuring that I need to come up with 24 hours a week (4 hours/4 work nights, 8 hours weekend) to focus on friendships, communictio, and doing activities where I am likely to meet other people.
