The world seems very complicated at the moment, and I feel like I can’t stay ahead of things. I’m not unhappy – on the contrary. I just can’t manage to keep track of deadlines, bills, housework, school… all the tiny little responsibilities which make up my life. Invariably, several areas suffer. When I feel like I’m on top of the housework, I realize I haven’t taken a look at my e-mail account in days. When I think I’m okay money-wise, the house is a mess. As soon as I pay attention to school deadlines, I wonder whether the dogs get enough exercise.

Do you have any magic tricks? I do manage to stay alive somehow without anyone constantly bailing me out…but I’m not sure how I do that. Will I grow up at some point, and get better at this?

I think I may have missed a deadline just now. Yet again.
