Good quesiton. I have had somewhat the same problem in the past. What I started doing was making lists of what needed to be done & always made sure that I put free time on the list as well. You need to find a balance & make the most of the free time that you have available.\n\nHere's an example: I listed all of the cleaning chores I needed to accomplish in a month & then worked out how often each needed to be done. When I was finished, I realized that there were really only one or two things each day, so long as I kept to my schedule. I then mapped out time that I could use as free time (which, for me, means without family at home) & worked it into the shcedule. When I hit those times, I just make sure that I do exactly what I want to do & nothing more.\n\nThe funny thing is that making yourself adhere to a schedule of sorts for only a few weeks has some amazing effects...I'm now the type of person who will stop to make sure that there is nothing else that needs to be done before I take my "me" time. Tell you one thing though, if this house is spotless, dinner is cooked & the laundry is done, you'd best consider how dear your life is to you if you ask me to do something else once I've decided to take my hour or two of solitude!\n\nIn the end, you can train yourself to be more productive & to balance free time against what needs to be done. As for real ambition, you might need to consider what goals you have & work toward them slowly. The main trick is accomplishment; if you set goals for yourself, even small ones, & you accomplish them, you will start to make it a habit...accomplishment breeds more accomplishment &, in many ways, ambition & accomplishment are one in the same...\n\nHope this helps!

There will never be enough time to do everything that you want.  The best way is to prioritize.  After you determine what is the most important aspect of your life, then make sure to spend each day doing what you love.  For example, if family is most important, then make sure you spend time with your family each day.  You can even multitask...say you love baseball, then spend an hour playing catch with your kids.  This would be a great way to spend time with the family and play baseball everyday.  Mix it up, make it interesting.  Remember it's your life, and you decide what to do with your time.

Make a list of priorities the most important tasks go at the top of your list....then make a schedule each task has its own time set during the day.Give yourself little breaks of 15-30 mins to unwind during the day or just use that time to do something for yourself.Then stick to the schedule,never let anything distract you.Multi-tasking is another secret.You may have to jugle a few tasks at once for example.With a little organization,and commitment you will be able to more effectively organize your time! Good luck!

Procrastination, It can Be your best friend.. Don't change it. Just improve it. I find my best work comes at the last minute.\n  you are more involved with your work when waiting for the last minute to do things. I guarantee if you try to do something ahead of time and look over at the last minute your going to change it anyway. which will still make it last minute and if you don't change it there will be so many errors that you wish you would have changed it.

Take 15-20 minutes in the morning before the rush begins and have some quiet time for yourself. If you 'need' visual or audio input, then read or play music which gives you energy. Same at the end of the day, but things that relax you. Makes a to do list for the next day to better organize your time, which will in turn allow more YOU time. Another possibility is more interaction with others while 'giving' in order to feel more in tune rather than getting nothing fulfilling back.

Prioritize. If you KNOW you have a deadline to get homework or another task done, give yourself a time frame to do it and reward yourself with a small treat to accomplish that end. It might be a favorite food or drink, watching a movie or simply reading a good book. Stay focusedl...you CAN do it!

You can do a lot of things. You can stay on the answer yahoo for some of the time, but sooner or later you will need to get off in order to get some work done. To make the day go faster, here at school, I go to sleep but I don't think that you are able to do that. I would read a book, believe it or not. Find a book and start reading it. You could make a new myspace web page. Anyways, this is some of the things that I would do.

My suggestion is to make lists, so you can cross off things when you do them. If it has to be so simple that you write down get up at 9, do that! Try very hard not to vary the times you go to bed and get up. Most articles I have read in the health magazines say that a consistent bedtime and wake up time are the most helpful. And don't vary it on the weekends!!! \n\nAs far as motivation, set goals. I will do 3 new things a day just for me. And if you are in to it, write down what you did and how it felt, if you would do it again, or not. Try something you have always wanted to do but "thought you were too busy."  \n\nAnother good solution is FLYLADY.com. She breaks things up into workable parts. Try that.
