how i managed my time~finally!

after a long search, i finally found the best solution to spend my so-called free time. i should express my thankful to my botang for her beneficial tips on time managing. Basically, i use the same concept like her which is by making weakly schedule. what i do is to list down the things that need to be done on that particular week. i just start using this kind of method last week, and at the end of the week i rechecked the list to make some evaluation, whether i managed to complete the to-do-list or not. it really just give me a great of satisfaction. though the listed things are just a small, unimportant matter carried out by a housewife i do feel the sense of achievement. here is my to-do-list for last week, feb 22~28

1. upload pictures (at least 3 album)- i need to transfer all of our pictures from the hard disk to the picasa web album for safety purpose and due to the lack of spaces
2. upload video (at least 1 video) - i'm always having problem to upload videos recently.
3. write 2 entries per week for my blog
4. make an orange cake-to finish up my oranges stocks
5. clean off the stains on the kettle- never do since i bought it a year and a half ago, see how lazy i am
6. stitch my daughter's shirt-at the neck area, as the hole is much much bigger for her tiny neck.
7. surfing for _____________ and ____________

and the result is, i succeed to complete 6 out of 7 of the list. any listed thing that i failed to complete, it will be bring forward to the next week list. it really work as i can clearly checked my done job, rather than blaming myself for doing nothing throughout the weeks.
for no 2, you can watch the video in my previous entries in here and here. and this is the pic for no 5.

as i am kind of addicted to pc person, I've limited my time on pc. that is i will only on the pc once i finished that day job. But, this one i cant guarantee how long it would last.*sigh*
one more important thing is, i tried to make quality time for us, kids and me. so, i try to avoid doing things while my kids are around. we spend the time together, usually at night playing games, watching tv, do some studying and chatting.

this to-do-list is for time that i claimed free time only, other than that i still need to prepare the meals, doing house chores, send and fetch my daughters to/from school, go shopping, go teaching and go to nihonggo post-class. So, what do you think of my time management? what if i say that i feel like i had live to the fullest??*smile*
