Aloha Friday: Overwhelmed

Lately, I’ve been feeling like I’ve got about 10 hours worth of work to do and only 3 hours to do it in.  I come home from work, make dinner, spend a small amount of time with the kids, and get them into bed.  Then, I’ve got about 3 hours to get everything else done.  By “everything else”, I mean clean up from dinner, work on my blog post, and work on the various freelance projects I have to complete.  Add in a kid (or 2) waking up as I’m actually heading to be and I’ve gotten to sleep at about 1am every night this week.  It wouldn’t be so bad if I could sleep in, but B has this annoying habit of getting me up in the morning so I can go to my day job.  Sheesh!

There’s a mountain of things I’d like to do.  FollowerHQ needs some improvements, I’d like to read up on coding applications for Android devices, I’ve got my tie clip project, I still want to woke out a system to stream movies from our computer to our TV, and more.  This pile keeps calling to me, but I need to push it off.  The things I *have* to do keep draining time from the things I *want* to do.  I feel like I’m running on a treadmill at top speed and still slowly falling behind.  In short, I’m feeling overwhelmed and like I’m headed for a burnout.

My Aloha Friday question for today is: What do you do when you feel overwhelmed?

P.S. If you haven’t already, try out my Twitter applications: FollowerHQ and Rout.
