Really some wise words there!

Anyway, I have a Palm and manage my time with it, well most of the time :wink:
I would have loved to have the PDA in school, but I got it after I graduated. Because when I was in school, I didn't manage anything...

Well I don't really stick to a schedule or plan ahead that far, my life doesn't give me that luxury...I have it pretty good in the fact; I am my own boss and have insomnia which can be good/bad at times...so the way I see it as long as I get all my work on time I do whatever I want whenever I want... :evil: except those times when I take on to many jobs and have to work myself for sometimes 2 days straight because I was on the forum procrastinating... :twisted: "But it's all good baby!!!" :wink:

Actually, I organize my time rather well. First thing in the morning, I get up and milk the cows. Once they are milked, I use the milk to short circuit the Zombie robots that always hide in wait in my closet. Once disperced from there, I try and take a shower, where a ninja jumps me in the tub and I have to kick his ass only wearing a towel. Once the shower is done (and the ninja is long since gone... fucking ninjas! :x ) I go get dressed. This takes the longest because I am never really sure what is better :? , the tuxedo with a nuclear silo in the cuffs or the powersuit with blowtorch accessory (good for making grilled cheese! :D ). Once I make my decision, it's off to school. While I am there, I learn math, science, language arts, and take some time off to battle of the Negaverse.I also eat lunch! Go through the rest of the day in school, go onto the magic school bus, tour a volcano, and finally get home. Here, I put up 1, 2, or 48 forum messages, and then I listen to my music. I generally take a nap here, but have to be careful because those dammed aliens try and use their MAD tentacle skills to rape me. I normally wake up in time and kill them using my invincible SEX-CRAFT!!! Sometimes I dont wake up and they get bored and put me back. I wake up, eat dinner, then do my homework. It is LATE at night now, and I feel like saving the world ONE LAST TIME before I go to bed. Then, while in the middle of doing so, I say "fuck it" and pull a sephiroth (we all know what that is :twisted: ) and strike the earth with a meteor, letting some punk with bleached hair and abercrombie clothing try and stop it while I sleep.
That's pretty much my day.
Oh, and for those that don't read more than 1 sentence:

Well, that's what I do, also. Because I use my Palm mainly for playing games in the spare time and for reading newspapers with AvantGo (which really is a great thing!). But it's always good to have that thing at hand when a new idea for an AMV flashes up to my mind!

@HornyCrackPot: This time you really managed to write something funny! LMAO

Hmmm... Thanks!! That's really helpful, not to mention damn good advice.

I'm crossing my fingers that my plans for self-employment after college will work out. ::croses fingers tightly::

Maybe so, but I would like to think that in all your time spent with other people, you'd have had some sort of positive effect on their lives. And in that case, it just might make it worth while. :D

Hmm... how do I manage my time?

I don't, time manages me. But I still get everything done that I need to. And get it done on time! Or rather, get it time on done! :shock:

I manage my time somehow, but I honestly couldn't tell you how I do it. I always make time to just relax a little and do something fun (like pull my hair out over an amv! :P ). But always make some time for yourself; there's nothing that's so important as it should stop you from taking a break to enjoy life. That break lets you step back from the things that're stressing you and helps put things in perspective.

Yea, that's my useless advice :shock:
