The Best Laid Plans

I am a child of technology. Old technology maybe, but technology none the less. I have a smart phone onto which I can install thousands of applications ("apps" for those of you in Rio Linda.) to increase my productivity. I use an older Palm device that  stores my contacts, schedule, memos and all types of other information that I deem important to my everyday life. I have access to the Internet through my smart phone and laptop and digital cable television.

With all these tools at my disposal to improve and assist me in my endeavors  as a stay-at-home parent, I still have problems keeping to even the best laid plans. Even after five years or more in this position and over ten years as a parent.

So, I ask myself, "Self, what is wrong with this picture? Why, after all these years, all these tools and information at your disposal, do you still have difficulties executing your duties?"

I ask myself that all the time and  the reply is always the same. A shrug of the shoulders and a few theories are thrown about with no real definitive conclusion. The only thing I can think of is that I am too much of a dreamer. I have too many ideas and things roaming about inside my head to think about that the things that I need to get done get lost.

I need to figure out how to focus on what needs to get done. But how?
