Trying to get my act together

It seems that these days I am constantly jumping from one thing to another and not really getting anything done.  The same thing happens with my brain.  I start thinking about something and never really get it thought through before my mind jumps to something new. Today, for example, I felted two sweaters to make mittens from, read a magazine, fixed a hook on granddaughter's skirt, looked in my files to see what was in there, looked at a book about printing fabric, got the green tomatoes spread out between newspapers in the basement, put away some fabric, looked at some stuff on 'you tube', made the bed, read my e-mail, played solitaire on the computer, did a crossword puzzle, posted on my other blog (quiltscrapsangel.blogspot.com), picked up my granddaughter after school, started supper, and now this.  I did a few other things in between there, too, like ate breakfast and lunch.  Now, my mind has been jumping all over in between, thinking about things that had nothing to do with what I did today.  Thinking about my garden, and what I need to change next year, thinking about calling my parents, thinking about a book I read and all of my confused thoughts about religion, thinking about how tired I am, and who will be off of DWTS tonight, and what I should do next.  But I really didn't get a whole lot done at all, so then I feel like I'm wasting my time, and thinking about how I should get more organized, and how I should be taking better care of my body, exercise, etc.  I think about journaling and how I'm afraid to get started on my art quilt background fabric.  I just need to get back to my old mottos. "Just Do It," "Do It Now," "Do It Scared," "Do One Thing At a Time."  But then I feel like I wanna go take a nap.  Sigh.  Will I ever learn? Guess I'll play another game on the computer.
