my ideal day

If I had my way, this is how I would spend my days:

• 8 hours sleeping
• 1 hour meditation/prayer/Bible reading/journaling
• 1 hour exercising
• 4 hours reading a book/day
• 1 hour writing
• 4 hours working on foreign languages (1 hour for each language)
• 1 hour community service/volunteer work
• 3 hours teaching
• All of my children’s waking hours giving them focused attention, often outside
• 2 hours house cleaning
• 1 hour with Joel
• 2 hours with friends/extended family
• 3 hours preparing food and eating
• 1 hour reading a novel or watching a movie
• 1 hour gardening/weeding

Grand total: 33 hours + all my children’s waking hours

So I ask you, why are there not 40+ hours in the day??? And why is it that I never feel like I can get everything done that I want to?
