Lately, it seems I’m being pulled in many different directions:  is it an inability to say, “No,” am I just managing my time poorly, or am I just succumbing to false expectations of myself?   I definitely know the first one contributes a lot.  I feel I’m agreeing to do anything and everything when asked for favors/jobs/social time.  I also know I could manage my time better:  this is especially true in the sleep department.  I need to get more of it so that I can stay focused during the day and have that additional energy to start/finish projects.  But, everyone tells me I expect too much out of myself.  I don’t know if that’s good or not.   I hope they don’t have low expectations of me (I really don’t think that…) or they’re just telling me to relax and enjoy the present.  Taking these last couple weeks, I’ve seen an improvement in my productive time without sacrificing the me time.  But, I’m not quite where I want to be…I’ll know it when I get there in the next couple weeks…

Anyway, I’ve updated my WordPress to 2.51, and I hope this means this website will run smoother and securely.  Oh, I’m also going to add a new commenting system using intensedebate.com‘s commenting ecosystem (a funny word to use in the digital world, but if I do succeed in creating a community here, then ecosystem isn’t too far off the mark!).  So if you see something here that needs to be commented on, go right ahead and do it!
