I have seen people who are obsessed about cleaning. So much to the extent of neglecting their lives. Wikipedia says OCD means: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCDI am definitely not like that. But I have an obsession now which I am beginning to doubt is leaning toward an OCD state. It is THINGS TO DO! It seems to me like life is mainly comprised of things to do. My mind revolves around the calender to begin with.
Oh, tomorrow, there is a dentist appointment for Son1. Evening he has to go to Activity A. Then get home to finish homework to return to school. Son1, his school, activities and home works can hog my mind like anything.
BTW, on Sunday, there is a birthday party we have to go to. When do we purchase the birthday gift? Make a note of that task.
What about finding a preschool for Son2? There are 4 or 5 choices and now I worry about going to each place and checking out which is good.
As I accomplish a task, I mentally draw a check mark. Wow..that is pure satisfaction that one experiences. But sometimes, it is all overwhelming. Worrying about one thing to do, then next, then next. Worried about whether not being prepared for an event/day will drive us all nuts in the last minute. The only thing that is left to do in life - is worry about the NEXT THING TO DO! I have to remind myself to take it easy - but I am striving hard to be the perfect mom, wife and perfect person who is always taking care of her tasks in a proper way!
Next thing I am planning to do is to take a day off and relax. Oh boy! There I go again!

Nice post Anamika. I know what you mean. Just between work and other things, life has been incredibly busy. I can't imagine the amount of running around you have to do for the extra curricular activities.
Outside of office TDLs have never worked for me. Inside office, I like to think they have!
@shy - multi tasking is the word!
