I allow myself to drift into obligations when I don't know how much time or energy they'll require.

I find myself running from when I get up in the morning until I go to bed at night. I'm always tired and never feel like I accomplished enough.

I seldom schedule a day off for myself and when I do, I tend to fill it with activities.

I have difficulty saying "No."

I don't make time for self-care activities: physical exercise, nurturing or pampering myself, cultural stimulation, spiritual well-being, learning something new, playing, or simply doing nothing.

My work and project areas are cluttered with "I'll look at this later" stacks and "to-do" piles.

I often miscalculate how long certain activities will take.

I often miss deadlines, or work long hours to meet a deadline.

I respond to interruptions such as phone calls, faxes, email, beepers and pagers and allow them to take me off track.

I try to keep things in my head rather than making lists, or if I do make a daily "to-do" list, it is impossible to complete in a day.

I tend to move from one urgent thing to the next, rather than working toward specific goals and objectives.

I find myself constantly wishing I had more time or projecting an imaginary future when I have more time, making comments such as "as  soon as..." or "next year...."

I seldom have time to do the things I really love.

I spend time running errands and rushing because I didn't plan well enough.

I spend time doing things that I could pay someone else to do.

 I often do things because I "should," or continue to do things that no longer fit who I am.

Other people complain that my schedule doesn't allow enough time for them.

I feel out of control and powerless over my time and commitments.
