I find that it does not take too much for me to fall behind. A simple change to my routine and I am playing catch up for a while.

While I love doing things like that, the catch up part is rough. I'm finding that I love September through December for holiday prep work. I do not like over scheduling myself during those 4 months. I am sooooo glad I took those classes in the spring and summer when things are calmer for me.

Totally agree. I have been looking at the work schedule for the next few months as people take holidays. One week the bosses want me to work 4 days. I am glad that I am looking now and will schedule events around work days. If I don't look at it I will become so overwhelmed and will not enjoy the best part of the year.
