As a rule, I try to be understanding. But as some point, too much is too much. As I sat in the hotel room working on Tuesday evening, I could hear a commotion out in the hall. I wasn’t exactly sure what was going on, but already knew that there was a bit of renovation…

Where does the time go? Why are there some days where I feel I’ve accomplished a million things (or at least moved forward on a couple very important ones) and other days where I feel I’ve gotten nothing done? I’ve worked on protecting my time, but things always sneak in and I’m left feeling rushed…
