Poor you, sounds like you’re way too busy right now!
Honestly – take one day off, treat yourself, relax and recharge your power bars! Maybe you go to a Spa, or have a “girls-day” with a friend, including manicure and facial treatments. It’s worth the time, cause you’ll be a different person afterwards, energetic and focused.
Did you ever try going for a short walk (15 min) before you go to bed? and the effect of a hot milk with honey is statistically prooven. Also avoid TV at least 30 min before going to bed.
I had problems with sleeping as well and this little routine brought me back in rhythm, now I sleep like a log :)
Anyway, I hope you feel better soon.

does sound tough. :( been studying for a bar exam, so i can relate to how difficult it is to learn and work when sleep deprived.

i hope that soon enough, all these things will find a way to come together well.

I’m sorry your feeling so worn out. Starting anything new can be a huge drain on the mind and body. I’d agree with Julia, make some time for just you a walk of just drink a cup of tea in your garden and don’t let anyone bother you. I’m personally a big fan of a hot bath and a book, totally helps me shut down for the day. Though I have heard that reading before you go to bed can leave your mind awake, I don’t worry about that unless I’m reading something that gets me emotionally charged.
Feel better.

I know what you mean about a lot on our plates. Is someone shrinking the size of the plates?

I’ve had moments like that as well. I find it’s best to try to hold out and keep pushing forward. Just makes the moment that you succeed all the sweeter!!

I found quite funny to read your post since that’s exactly what I’ve been going through too. I’ve lost so much sleep I can’t even keep track of it anymore. I was writing a paper for school this afternoon and dozed off without realizing it but my hand kept scribbling things. After a while I just suddenly woke up and saw that I had written all kinds of things on my paper- like “German dance”, etc. :D

I find that gardening or some sort of exercise- even if it’s light, is really helpful for keeping me going and – well, helping my energy levels go up. :)

I’ve gone thru those phases, too. Eventually you have to take a step back and realize that something has got to give. It’s not going to be the puppy or the hubby….you just need a little break from the other things!

Managing lots of sites and projects at a same times is very hectic and a lot my mental exertion. It is better to have a short break and leave every thing behind because nothing is more important than health. Best of luck :)

I agree. I like the printed word, which I can move around in, skipping material, scanning for what I really need. Video and audio must be absorbed sequentially at the speed the person is talking. I love video to enhance a website, but if there is no written version, they usually lose me.

I sympathise with all you have said. Getting new projects off the ground takes an age. Especially when you have to learn new stuff as well. I seem to be on a steep learning curve for many aspects of web life. It changes so quickly. Social web 2.0 is a baffle to my limited brain!
As far as your laptop goes, can I join the club. I am on satellite connection and am limited to 1G a month! Video is a big no no even at the beginning of my limited download capabilities!
Why did I move up a mountain in the depths of the Catalan countryside ?
Hmmmm.
Oh I know. Peace. Yeah right with 3 dogs and insane chicken dumping farmers!
Keep on posting Tricia. I am really getting in to your site.
