Time

One thing I've noticed is that time is just as difficult to manage at home is it was at the office.  I've gained back up to 2 hours in commute time, and I used to chafe at the thought of all the things I could get done with that time otherwise lost behind the steering wheel.  Now I start the day with a list of things to do, and I end the day hours later with an equally long list of more things to do.

One urgent need I have is to get organized.  I have absorbed boxes of files from my office, plus many boxes of photo albums and other stuff that somehow ended up here from my parents' recent move to assisted living, and all of it needs to find a home.  The task is huge, and will take a lot of focus to get done.

This morning has been all about conference preparation: I am lucky enough to be a panelist in a therapeutic breakfast next week on clinical trials abroad, and this will be a reunion of sorts with some colleagues I have not seen in a while.  I also managed to schedule two conference calls for the separate panels I am on for the upcoming Partnerships in Clinical Trials conference in Orlando in April, and I was barely able to distinguish  which panel and call was which.
