Great goal! I’m going to be doing a series of time management posts on the blog this year. After a decade of juggling either a law practice and writing or homeschooling and writing, plus an average of 4 books/year, I feel like I know it from the organized side and the pitfall side!
I hope to get into the college of my choice *fingers crossed*

I have no plans. :s
