I spend two hours with friend x, and two hours with friend y, and try to do my yard work, laundry, cook a real dinner, and read constantly, all at the same time. In my "copious free time" away from my job. (Though I joke that if I didn't have a job, I'd work myself into a nervous breakdown, because I'd then have all day to try to do everything under the sun. I'm superwoman, complete type A, but I just wish I was better at it.
People say you should take time to smell the flowers. I do. It's just I schedule it in. After all, there's always a shadow of Death peering over my shoulder, saying "How much time do you think you have? Are you sure? Better make every moment count..." I know whenever Old Boney comes for me, it will still be with me trying to get one last bit in before I leave. If I had twelve lifetimes, I know I couldn't do everything I want to do. Maybe that's why folks get fixated on immortality...
Back to multitasking..
