[QUOTE="Old One, post: 115164, member: 83"] [b]All Those Things That Were Supposed To Make Life Easier...[/b] RW - Greetings! Enjoy your college days while you have them ;)! Looking back over the contact manager for this week, we have: (1) Meetings with 4 prospective clients (@ 2 hours each). (2) Completing and reviewing 3 financial plans (@ 7 hours each). (3) Travel and presentation for prospective consulting client (6 hours). (4) Phone calls/e-mails dealing with client issues (8 hours, so far) (5) Professional reading/market research (4 hours) (6) Trading - moved about $850,000 (US) in various accounts this week (4 hours) (7) Travel and interview for new position (4 hours). (8) 2 "Story Hour" write-ups (@ 1.5 hours each). (9) Research on potential new business venture (4 hours). (10) 4 workout sessions, to help bleed off stress and maintain sanity (@ 2 hours each). (11) Cruising the EN World Message Boards (about 4 hours). (12) Checking e-mail, voice mail, fax and snail mail correspondence (about 3 hours). (13) 9 one-way communting trips so far (@ 20 minutes each). (14) Quiet time with the wife (2 hours). (15) 4 baby-making attempts (@ 20 minutes each) :D. Almost 80 hours and counting since Monday:p! All of the "advances" in technology that were supposed to make our life easier have just allowed us to cram more "stuff" into the same amount of time. I would love to just "veg out" for a week, but prospects look dim. Most Europeans I talk to think our 10 days of vacation + 7-8 holidays a year are insane. Americans don't know how to relax... ~ Old One [/QUOTE]
