Balancing life

I am torned apart these days. I just seems not to have enough time. I am in need of a life balance sheet. You know those kind of spreadsheet you setup in hope they will help you out.

My main problem is that I want to do everything. I want to live it and enjoy it. Here is a short list of thing I would like to do:

  • Invest more time in training for programming and development skills.
  • Invest more time to make my work job enjoyable for everyone by planning some more activities with my colleagues.
  • Invest some time having fun.
  • Invest some time taking care of my general health, doing sports and some body building.
  • Invest more time helping out open source projects. So far, I am still evaluating which ones.
  • Invest more time in my personal software projects.
  • Invest more time in my family members’ web projects.
  • Invest more time blogging.
  • Invest more time keeping up with the news about software development.
  • Invest more time hanging out with my friends.
  • Invest more time taking care of my girlfriend.
  • Invest some more time with work related out of work projects.
  • Invest some time influencing politician about privacy, copyright and new digital realities.
  • Keep up with the daily stuff.

Right now, I know I am probably spending too much time on gaming. On average, I might spend about 14 hours a week on it. That item should be scrached from the list, but one of my philosophy is that I should have fun everyday. I will not have time to have fun once I am dead.

As for the rest, I just seem not to get enough of each. Am I trying to do to many things at once ? It seems like everyone is doing it. I should be able too right ?

Do you have any tips or cure for me ? I am open to everything.
