First it was facebook.
Then last week it was children's literature.
Last night I realized I have to get rid of youtube and marthastewart.
I waste so much time. I don't think I will block those two websites (partly because
I don't know how), but I definitely have to limit my time on them (as in, really try never to go on them). Last week I interviewed for a volunteer position at one of the university offices, partly because I need some updated experience/references, but also because I know with a fuller plate I will have to prioritize my schoolwork above the Mysterious Benedict Society novels.
Thankfully because no one really blogs very much, I can continue to look at blogs somewhat. Though potentially there will be a day where that must go as well.
ugh. I am rediculously bad with my time management.

I find making to-do lists really helps with prioritizing. Like making an ideal hour-by-hour list..or at least in sections: "I will do A and B" by noon and then "C and D" in the afternoon.
Unrelated, Meredith, you should post something about what you thought about "Where the Wild Things Are". Um, that is all, sorry we missed ya last week.
You gave up fiction? Tsk, tsk. As you probably know since you haven't given up on blogs yet, I'm reading Narnia right now. (I haven't read it for two weeks now, but I'm planning on finishing the series this week.) There's nothing wrong with fiction.
I think it's a very wise decision to make yourself more busy to make yourself more disciplined. Good practice! What inspired this idea?
Mons- I really love to-do-lists, but I never keep them. I have many on very cute paper scattered around my room, being highly ineffective. I think I use them more appropriately when the tasks are really small, rather than more time consuming.
Pete- No, there isn't anything wrong with fiction. I love it too much. Which is why I stopped reading (fun things), I was making leisure time my idol.
I realized that in my undergrad, whenever I had a part-time job, or was overloading, my marks and my ability to complete work quickly increased.
