Another month, another chance for the writers of the world-wide web to connect virtually. Take a moment to click on the picture in order to check out some of the fantastic writers that make this monthly blog hop such a supportive place for all of us twittering balls of insecurity. 🙂
On to my own insecurity. For many of you out there, it’s going to sound like a rerun. My insecurity, or maybe I should say my biggest challenge currently is…time.
This is what my clock looks like. Normal, not intimidating at all, right? Don’t let it fool you. It’s an innocuous-looking disguise. Come closer. I’m going to share a secret.
Are you ready?
Okay. Let me show you what my clock really looks like.
I have writing, editing, rewriting, reviews, and blog posts to finish, and do you see what my clock does every time? Seriously frustrating.
Anyone else having issues with their devious clocks, or is it just me?

The intent nowadays isn’t really to scare people as it is to make the world
interesting again. The dream group disbanded in the natural way that long-standing groups do, people moving for new jobs, new enterprises and undertakings which all seem
to happen at once. The likeliest of presumptions is that the major personality, Dracula is a reflection of the terrible Vlad the Impaler – Vlad Tepes leader of a ancient Romanian condition.
I know exactly how you feel… my time flies away with me too and I find I’ve done half of what I planned. Just do the best you can:)
I do try my best, but sometimes my best falls way short of my intentions. Guess that’s all part of the wonderful world of being a grown up, huh? 🙂
Thanks for commenting, T.F.
Like the post office, I’ve removed my clocks. That way I can’t fret while watching those hands whip around or hear the digital chunk, chunk of time. 🙂
Smart, very smart! They’re so sneaky. 🙂
I think we’re all there with you Kim. Launching my first book this month has taken every bit of spare time I have. Luckily, I had time off the day job to focus on it. Let me know if you figure out how to find more time. 😉
Congrats, PK! I will definitely let you know if I ever figure it out. I think I’ll be selling that secret if I ever come across it. 😉
It’s not just you.
Any suggestions on how to effectively deal with a wayward clock? 🙂
I suggest hiding your clock. Then you won’t know if you’re running behind!
Sounds like a plan. 🙂
Glad to know I’m not alone in the clock issue, gets me every single time.
No, you’re definitely not alone. It’s a booger, isn’t it?
I have a rebellious clock, too. But, little does he know, I’m cleverer. I’m going on hiatus soon, and then thinning out my blog schedule when I return.
Ideas for time management: Keep a blog calendar, pre-schedule posts whenever possible (I strive to stay 1 to 2 mos. ahead), blog less often if needed, use a blog reader app like Feedly to keep up with blog visits, use a service like Hootsuite to manage Twitter. Good luck! 🙂
Hiatus sounds like fun, but only if it involves a beach, a tall drink, and a buff waiter. 🙂
Thanks for the suggestions!
Yes, I have one of those clocks too. We really need to stake out the shop that sells them and steal the hands!!
It’s a plan, but only if I get to wear all black and make use of a grappling hook. 🙂
Oh, I so understand!
In fact, I’m always running out of time that one day I know I’ll not have enough time to finish a post or even a comm–
The clock stole the end of your sentence. See what I mean about that devious little booger. 🙂
You are not alone! I would love to have more hours in the day!
More hours sound good. We have to figure out a way to make that happen – like yesterday. 🙂
If only there were more hours in the day. But, you ought to pat yourself on the back for being able to do what you are doing. So much! That really is impressive. 😀
Thanks! I spend most of my time feeling like a juggler, but I guess we can all say that. 🙂
Lol. Cute post. Many of us feel this way. We’re all doing the best we can. Take it one day at a time. As Lexa said, you are a Superhero.
I know I’m not alone, but it sure was fun to blame it on the clock. 🙂 Thanks for commenting.
If you’re managing to do half the stuff on your to-do list while holding down a job and taking care of your family, you’re down in my book as a Superhero!! You accomplish A LOT, so don’t be down on yourself. I’m proud of you. 🙂
Thanks, Lex! Just have to figure out how to make the to-do list shorter. *Scratching my head* 🙂 I appreciate all of your support.
