Organizing my life

pandora_parrotFor the first time in my life, I feel like I'm in control of my time. If there is something I'm not doing, I'm not doing it because I am actively prioritizing other things. If there is something I *am* doing, I am actively prioritizing it.
About the only thing that I could improve my time management on is my sleep cycle. I'd like to wake up earlier so I can exercise before work in the mornings.
But other than that, I'm in control.
However, this makes for a very controlled and regimented life. Between my two girlfriends, my desire to work out, and my desire to get coding projects done, I have at most 2 days a week to devote to other things and other people.
Those days fill up quickly. A friend invites me to their housewarming party, and that leaves me one day. I ask a friend I haven't had time to see much lately to a movie, and that's my week. I decide to go camping in the desert, and that's another week. At this point, my next free day for scheduling time with *anyone* or *anything* is May 15th.
I'm in control, and know exactly how and why I'm not doing certain things. The challenge before me, now, is to prioritize my desires. What really matters to me and what doesn't? And that's the hard part. There's a lot I want to accomplish and a lot of people I want to see... but how much of that is more important than what I'm already doing?
