Getin' it together

Dear World
I need to get it together. Now that I've established my household as a business I have to tighten my game up. I'm really big on networking and meeting other people who are in the business. I just started The Sacramento Music Network, it's a group on face book directed towards entertainers of all genres. I hope to have a lot of members so we can all interact with each other. I've learned very quickly that in this industry it's important to have a lot of friends in the business, but even more quickly I've learned that most people in the business are in it for themselves. It doesn't have to be like that. If we all help each other everyone benefits, and further more, if we're all working together, that's less people that we're working against.
Anywayz.. Trying to build relationships with other people takes a lot of time and that's the thing I seem to keep running out of. It's almost impossible to sit at the computer for a large amount of time with my kids running around. That's why it's really important for me to start managing my time. My goals for a typical day are usually to: exercise; network online; clean the house; take the kids out to play; and study, all while integrating preparation of meals, an alternating school schedule with my husband, and a never ending traffic flow through my house. That doesn't even include writing lyrics and recording which is the driving force of my home business. I'm not complaining, this is what I want to do, I just need to get organized because I'm finding myself not doing hardly anything. It's like my head is spinning and I just waste a lot of time half-doing things and thinking about how I'm going to go about doing what I need to get done. So, my solution is to go back and take my own advice of scheduling my days by the hour [much easier said then done]. That way I'm sure to accomplish my daily tasks.
I haven't really been paying attention to my eating habits either. I haven't been eating that much just be default, but I haven't been careful about what I'm eating either. I gained 2 pounds when I was supposed to be losing 4. I exercised a lot, but you can't loose weight unless you cut calories. It's alright, I know what I got to do. Just hope i do it...
Until the next time..
