What is worth it

I've been a busy bee lately and thought makes me think a lot about what is a good use of my time. I do my schoolwork, workout, work both of my jobs, try to fit a social life in, make time for a significant lady, relax and explore my own interests all in a 24 hour day. Now mind you, this is not a gripe. I am well aware most have equally busy schedule and the many have far busier. This is just my story.
When all you are is busy, and you are presented with freetime it's hard to know what to do with it. I no longer know how to fully relax. I'm finding more and more that my apartment that I used to love hanging out at so much has become a place of infinite stresses. My room is never clean, there are always dirty dishes, those DVD's on my shelf need to be re-alphabetized, I could write that letter to my grandma, and oh yeah, I just remembered I need to call my parents tonight. These days the only way I can relax is to get out of the house. I'm beginning to understand this idea of vacations more. Back in the day, my idea of vacation was sitting at home, watching movies, reading, and maybe playing a few videogames. Now, because the place I live in is more my own I see all the stressors that surround me, and while trying to relax and cannot help but think of the productive things I could be doing. I know right? Rather than be a bitch about it though, I'm looking for ways to improve. I am looking to find new methods of relaxation and to eliminate stressors and things I don't need.

Things I could eliminate.

1. My second job at geography (getting up at 7:30 every morning has a toll on you)
2. My addiction to shows like Always Sunny, Scrubs, Magnum P.I. and Dexter
3. Sleepovers
4. Idle TV watching (thinking of moving my TV into room and making it a 2nd monitor)
5. Excess Drinking

So I've decided to cut down on drinking, sleepovers and Idle TV watching. I'm just not going to turn the TV on. Really the matter is I need to focus better and not get distracted, which I think the cutting down on drinking will help. I need to increase focus in general. I write papers that just wander from topic to topic, never really picking one, I tell stories that end up where they don't intend, I try to make callers grade A callers in one sitting, rather than giving them the structured growth they need. My mind needs to pick on thing and work on it uninterrupted. That's what I'm going to work on, it even goes back to the regime. I'm working on my regimen. This time it's focus. You guys should all do this too. Think about what you have on your plate, what you want on it, and what you can eliminate to fit that in. You can't eat dessert if you have two entrees.


Real Quick, Things that are worth my time:

1. Friends
2. School
3. Girl
4. Mind Expansion
5. Exercise
6. Movies

I need to watch more full movies! Being a Film-student really cuts down on the time you have for movies.
