Time.

Yup, that's what I think I'd wish for for Christmas. Time. More time to get stuff done. More time to spend with friends and family, more time to visit with friends that are far away or out of reach on a daily basis. Time to have the fun I used to have, or at least believed I used to have most days. I swear the way things are today, I can sit down at the computer with a hit list of things I need to get done but, because other issues come up in the form of constant distracting notifications or computer issues that needs to be dealt with 'NOW', updates for pretty much everything, group chat posts, and even calendar reminders that bring up other things that somehow landed on my plate and literally not complete one task. Sitting down to accomplish one thing turns into an entire day full of partially completing a slew of issues, and even though progress was made, it doesn't feel like there's ever much to show for it.

Add to that the 'off line/away from the computer' life that seems to be overshadowed by the time spent sitting in this chair. I really feel like I go to bed regretting not accomplishing more. Not reaching out to friends and family as much as I should, not having recreation time that isn't overshadowed with guilt for what I 'could' have gotten done in that amount of time.

So number one on my list this year: time. A close second would be the ability to focus on tasks like I used to although, that probably means turning off notifications of any kind... hmmm... that might be the plan after all ;)
