Rome wasn't built in a day (or so they keep telling me, although I keep wondering who "they" is...but anyway...) If you make small, incremental steps forward, through a prioritized list of objectives, one day you'll wake up and realize how far along in the process you really are. Good luck.

Good luck.

Things at home are kind of busy right now so my free time in the evening only starts at around 9:30-10PM. By then I'm usually exhausted. :-) But you're right, I need to make better use of the time that I have. I think I'll put together a list and post it online so that people can keep me accountable and I can power through some of those things. <strong>Ben</strong>: Heh, I wish #8 became #11, but I'd have to get around to doing it first. Like I just told Luke, I think I'm going to try and push myself through the process, little by little.

That's really the question. I found some time, so I started a new business. Seems to me you want to do a lot of stuff - best bet is to prioritize as much as you can and just tackle it. There's no time like the present, no matter how busy we are. I might not start with #11 on your list *chuckle* ... #8 sounds interesting, and who knows, it could turn into #11. Best of luck to you!

If I only had time, I could do so many cool things... But then I realized that when I say "if I only had time" I don't mean having free time. When I have free time, I usually waste it away on mindless fun activities (TV, games, etc..). No, when we say "if I only had time" I mean, "if I didn't work, had absolutely nothing to do all day, and if I was dying out of boredom, I would possibly would do these things" Most likely though, I would simply waste more time like usual :P I used to say the same thing.
