Lost keys, documents, telephone numbers
Appointments forgotten
I am afraid to start certain projects
I try but just cannot do certain important things
Start something, get interrupted, start something else
Try to do everything myself
Have to do other people’s work
I don’t know what is more important for me
My life seems to be going nowhere
I feel as if I am just existing NOT living

Essentially, your time frame, ie 24 hours minus your commitments = your choice time.
Each time frame consists of three types of activities
Whether it's a day, week, month, term or year, each time frame can be broken down into three parts:
Scheduled ‘have-to’ activities.
Unscheduled ‘have-to’ activities.
Unscheduled ‘want-to’ activities.
