As the queen of indecision, I'll pass on what I do.<br /><br />I make a list (I love my lists) of all the pressing projects I should be attending to, and then decide which is the most important to me. Then I allocate dates / timescales for each project.<br /><br />Once it's all down in writing, and no longer just in my head, it's easier to see the way forward. <br /><br />Sounds simple, but it works for me. x<br /><br /><br /><br />Rena Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11520149404274102132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408579395752156780.post-75122802087330427512012-11-09T18:22:15.173+00:002012-11-09T18:22:15.173+00:00Is there a way you can do both?

There must be a way to balance both (not that I've found it - if I do I'll let you know). Good luck in whatever you decide.Tracy Baineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06163026203378437013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408579395752156780.post-55263777139947704872012-11-07T17:47:07.313+00:002012-11-07T17:47:07.313+00:00Ak - I have a feeling that something will happen t...Ak - I have a feeling that something will happen to decide for me!Flowerpothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102679179201725732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408579395752156780.post-43773663882903445662012-11-07T17:46:41.182+00:002012-11-07T17:46:41.182+00:00Chris - I'm not going to rush into any decisio...Chris - I'm not going to rush into any decisions....Flowerpothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102679179201725732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408579395752156780.post-32785773067795413642012-11-07T17:46:12.220+00:002012-11-07T17:46:12.220+00:00Jane - tricky isn't it?Jane - tricky isn't it?Flowerpothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102679179201725732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408579395752156780.post-51744578424905931122012-11-07T17:45:44.727+00:002012-11-07T17:45:44.727+00:00Addy - good advice!

(Just read your last post - I too have decaffeinated tea as the real stuff used to give me palpatations. Apparantly, tea is much worse than coffee for its caffine effect.)ADDYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01018958238940897902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408579395752156780.post-29526793151448787982012-11-07T14:49:42.485+00:002012-11-07T14:49:42.485+00:00It's terrible when everything seems to take ti...It's terrible when everything seems to take time away from writing, isn't it?
