But it sounds like you're overambitious on more than a day to day basis, I'd say you're pretty ambitious in general. And that's good, life is short -- but I think the fact that you want to do a lot and you want to do things that have a fair amount of depth to them and that will all take a lot of time to do is why they keep getting put off. And that schedule you want to have sounds like a very good step, but... that's still a big list for one year. And being all "if I don't do all these things, then the year is wasted" isn't really helpful, you know? Because then it's a more do or die situation than it has to be, and one just gets more and more paralyzed because OMG OMG.
(Says the woman who spent three hours surfing the internet in procrastination because being almost finished on a scarf seemed like too much of a burden -- again, I'm not saying I don't do these things either. Giving up these thought patterns is a little like trying to give up smoking in that it drastically alters every aspect of the way you have to approach things and it is physically wrenching sometimes, but it's worth it.)
Frankly, I'm impressed made all your own Christmas gifts. I know of no one else in my life who has ever done that. Eric made some books on cd for his nephew and second cousins, and I made a scarf, and we're both exhausted now. Yay amazon.
