The Dickens novel by this title includes some colorful characters, including an orphan who aspires to be a gentleman. What expectations govern your week?
Do expectations interfere with what reasonably can be accomplished thanks to the interruptions, errands, and obligations of today?
People like me who find themselves too busy frequently expect that they can fit more deeds into a day than is humanly possible. We have great expectations.
Count the hours in the day, and count the tasks on the list. Revise, edit, and see if you can let go of that "too busy" feeling" by giving yourself permission to have reasonable expectations instead of great ones. You just may find that this allows you to do one thing great.
