Time And Me

How Do I Do What I Do

A Guinness Clock Somewhere In Alnwick I Think

Introduction

Sometimes people ask me how I do so much on Vocal, and in the Vocal Group I administer (and the others I support administratively) and I am not too sure.

I know others can multitask, but I have difficulty and always try and set structures for doing things.

The music is "A Little Time" by The Beautiful South.

Time And Me

I tend to sleep for about six hours, which is a quarter of my day, sometimes it is less. I know other people need eight to twelve hours sleep and I remember that I often used to spend most of the day in bed at weekends, maybe that was because I spent so much time travelling during the week.

After a day off yesterday, I came back to a lot of things to do and that increases my stress levels slightly, but I managed to prioritise and then deal with them one thing after another.

Each month, I run a challenge and publish a list of unofficial Vocal Challenges, but I create these the week before and publish them when they are due.

In the Vocal Social Society I schedule weekly events, which gives me plenty of time to do things.

Conclusion

Basically, I seem to do so many things because I have procedures and schedules.

I create a lot of poetry using defined formats, and often my pieces have a defined form. If you saw a poem of mine without my name on you would know it's one of mine.

Thank you for reading, so now you know what I seem to be able to do so much.

    Nothing like a list or procedure to schedule your day-to-day life. I always work from a list.

    Keep up the good work, Mike. It seems like you are one very organized person in many respects that enjoys what he does. Good job.
