Ever feel that your life is paced all wrong? Either that, or maybe the hours in the day are inaccurate. You do some things too fast and other things too slowly, but nothing at just the right pace and nothing that fits into your schedule very well and there's never enough time to do everything you feel that you need to do. Or maybe I should just drop this obsession with time management efficiency. I remember reading a story once in high school english class about a man so obsessed with saving time that he charted out each day by the minute to make sure no time was wasted. He finally concluded that he wasted most of his time taking the stairs or the elevator, so after work one day, to save time, he just jumped out the window. It's bizarre, but I feel that I can actually relate to that man. Every night I plan my next day(mental pre-preparation)....8-12 class...15 min to walk home...30 min to make lunch...1hr to eat lunch and dawdle (even my dawdling is incorporated into my schedule), and it goes on and on and on. It seems to be the only way that I can get things done, and yet, I still don't get all the things on my list done.

So am I OCD or what? Probably not as much as my friend's mom who actually bought a comb for the fringes of her rugs (all of which her kids are not allowed to step on while in the house). My friend actually described going through her house as a series of hops around rug fringes. I guess if anything I just have a ridiculously short attention span coupled to an already scattered brain.
