The Weekend that Wasn't by taffy

The Weekend that Wasn't

My colleague gave me the idea for the title. I'm now on a 365 time budget (using Annette's @anwan words). Until this proposal is done, and two other things that I have to finish this week, I only am allowing myself an hour a day for 365. It is really HARD not to keep sneaking onto the website after I've told myself I can't look. I am an addict going through withdrawal...when I tried the "oh, just a few minutes won't hurt" earlier today, it was suddenly 45 minutes later. So, my apologies for falling behind. I probably can't stop myself from sneaking on this week, but I have promised myself I can photograph and post each day, and use the rest of my time to look at your photos, rather than write individual replies. I'll be back to normal activity next weekend, I hope! This shot is SOOC and reflects my having actually straightened up enough off the kitchen bar counter so we could eat dinner on it and not have to move my stuff off the table.
Isn't it annoying when work gets in the way of 365? Nice shot of real life!

Great capture, Taffy! Looks like a lot to do! I am having to do that same diet, darn it!

How can you cope with 365 and a full time job Taffy? I can't keep up to date and I don't work at the moment.

Awe Taffy, I feel for you. : ( Just try and have a happy work week and get done those important things first. You'll be finished before you know it. Good luck on the proposal. Nice shot! : )

That's the best way to go about 365. Love the tissues on the table... they add emotion to your commentary ;)

Totally feeling for you! I should do the same thing for myself. I need a time restriction for sure. It can suck you in and the next thing you know it's been hours. Great shot to symbolize life building up when addicted to 365. Things left undone, emails un answered, calls un returned. Sorry your weekend was all work and no play:) Best wishes to get the proposal done and have some chill time:)

Cool capture of the activity! I only get an hour for all my online activities during the week (plus an extra few minutes at work if it's a quiet day)... It's tricky not to get distracted, but it is just about possible! Good luck with your proposal!
April 29th, 2013  
I hope you didn't have to use the tissues for wiping of tears... I wish you lots of work inspiration. Hang on in there!

All the best in getting your work done, I understand about having to restrict time on here. I also found I wasn't getting enough done & had to scale back x

You made me laugh so much. I'm exactly the same, as I'm sure many of us are, but it was such fun reading what I actually experience.Haha
April 29th, 2013  
Oh and good luck with getting that proposal finished!!!
April 29th, 2013  
Such an addiction!!So many of us guilty!!

I know exactly what you mean - time flies on 365. Great SOOC journal shot.
April 29th, 2013  
I agree about giving yourself a time limit - good luck!
April 29th, 2013  
Good luck with your projects and time management.

I so relate to this as I've become such an addict lately, my house looks like a tart's palace! I think I may give your an hour a day rule a go! Good luck with the proposal.

I'm right there with you, 365 is totally taking over my life, and my work load is just about to build making it ever harder. Great shot, my son is just about to do his GCSE's and has completely taken over the dinning room table until the middle of June!!
April 29th, 2013  
Yikes, good luck! My guy has an article deadline for the end of the month, so we're looking pretty much like that around here right now too!
April 29th, 2013  
yes, i have to use discipline also to keep my focus on regular work during the day. it is easy to spot a good shot while going about business, but not so easy to grab the shot. i have been posting grab shots from the beginning - I don't stress about them which keeps it all fun.
April 29th, 2013  
Great shot!

@elaine55 It's not easy, but I just love it! As you can see, I'm already cheating on my 'only view and comment, do not reply' rule!
April 30th, 2013  
Don't feel bad- Jeff does that to our table all the time too. I'm constantly putting his stuff out of the way. I don't know what I'll do if I ever do get another job- because I spend so much time here! Good for you- stay focused and get that proposal finished ASAP!
April 30th, 2013  
sounds like you are going to be busy
April 30th, 2013  
Totally understandable! You have to do what you have to do!

Oh, I'm right there with you. I'm in my last week of the semester with portfolios arriving Friday in my online Comp. class; then a big research report due by me the next week. I'm counting the days to summer vacation where I can feed my addiction to its full extent. I am struggling with replies and even commenting. I'm off to grade! :)
