"There are no great deeds, only small ones done with great love." I think Mother Teresa said that.

“There are no great deeds, only small ones done with great love.”

I have learned to prioritize my appointments, and have even learned that some things aren't as important as I thought they were. It has taken a while, but I have learned to let go of some of those non-essential things. I am happier and significantly less stressed out. But, you are right, I had to learn from my mistakes, and, frankly, I'm still learning, but the mistakes are much smaller now.

The problem I have found is that, while I know my time management skills suck, they seem to have gotten worse with more commitments. These things I mentioned are mere blocks from our house, but since I procrastinate terribly and only leave the time necessary to drive there, I am finding that preparing to leave with enough time to walk is this huge sacrifice for me. It's stupid! The more things I have to do, the more organized I should be, but it's not working that way. I don't get it. That's a little off the topic of your questions in this blog but I'm open to feedback on this.
