My life tends to be erratic as stronger personalities like to
  dictate the use of much of my time.

  So, I take care of what I must [things with due dates and such]
  which takes planning. I have far flung plans that I work on a
  little here and there and I entirely absorb myself in whatever
  project I'm on at the moment when I'm _not_ having my time
  utilized by serving other people's needs.

  So for me, life is a lot of coping and making the best of the
  situation I find myself in, having a successful resolution to
  whatever the other person's needs are at that moment. I try to
  "exceed" far past what I expect their expectations are so that
  they leave me alone for a while.

  Then, I go back to my project. Never been good with calendar
  planning beyond pay the mortage type things.
