Time Management

Anyone who knows me knows that time management and myself have never functioned well together for long. I don't know if it's something in the way my brain processes time or what, but I'm ALWAYS behind. Then the other night, I became aware that there might have been a slight shift in the way I function. On New Year's Eve, as we were heading out together, Adam made the comment that he was surprised he'd never had to wait for me to get ready; I was always ready on time. He seemed afraid to expect that experience to last. Later that night, that phenomenon of my timeliness came up at my parents' house. My mom said that all while I was growing up, she would read books on how to help me become better at managing my time, but none of them worked. And then she said to Adam, "You've been the best thing for her yet!"

It's true, though--at least so far. I do find myself striving to get my work done more quickly so that I can spend time with him. When I don't worry too much (and I do find myself worrying about crazy things, so much of it pertaining to hoping our relationship will last a while), I have such a great time with him. Having him around for some of Christmas and New Year's made this year incredibly special for me :-)

Oh, there's so much more, but I'd better get back to using my time wisely so I can hang with him tonight!
