haha. i sleep 4 hours everyday and still i don't get everything done.  This is a fact that you have to accept.  There is not enough time in the day so my advice is to prioritize and budget your time.  I use PlanMyDay for my palm device and it has greatly helped me fit tasks into my schedule.\nNote: I work full-time and also am a college student

You need to make the decision to make time.  Maybe working less isn't an option right now, so instead, decide that things will get unpacked when they get unpacked.  Make a point of spending the night at a hotel once a month if you can.  Or, have a quicky in a cheap motel during lunch.  Find creative ways to get together to keep things goinf until your schedule works itself out.

Start by leaving work at the workplace, do not bring it home.  Use the time going to work to psych yourself up (I know I can do this, it is only a few hours...) and use the time getting home to dump (Wow, do I work with a bunch of ....).  Finish dumping before you get home.  Scream if you need to (so who care what stranger think, right?).\nRelax.  Even if there a a list of things which need to get done that is a mile long, home is the nest for feeling safe a secure.  Calm down.  You are home.  You made it through another day.  Spend five to fifteen minutes listening to music or talking with any family which might be home.  Pet the cat if you have one.\nOkay, now you are ready do what ever you need to get done (dinner, chores, workout, whatever).  Think about what you need to do and then get up and do it.\nYou will find that if you do a really ggod dumb on the way home, you will be very much more effective once you get there.  This will allow more time (including the kick back time).\nA couple of other things:  a good balanced meal is better than skipping one 'cause you ain't got the time.  Lights...  lots of lights.  What you pay in electric bill is cheaper than drugs and the light (especially in the winter) will have a great effect.\nYou might want to investigate meditation.  It also can work wonders.

stay awake until the local bedtime and then go to bed and get up like you normally would.  This should get you on the local timetable in no time.

List down all jobs you got to do. Name it "TO DO". This list should always be infront of you and be sure your pen is always standby so that you can tick all done jobs.\n\nUse memos and stick it to your table or wall.\n\nList down rules and regulation that you should follow without any cost. For example clean your room, make your bed as you get up. Or clean your working place...\n\nMake a time table which you should follow. Use the alarm in mobile phone which will remind you what work to do. For example fetch your children from school.\n\nAlways clean your working place, so that every paper or material are placed such that you will never have trouble in finding them.\n\nDo sport! It keeps your mind so cool that you will not need a memo or a TO-DO list.\n\nGood luck...

Use a planner.  Write down the activities you intend to do for the day.  Spend the first ten minutes on your workdesk "wasting" time prioritizing your work for the day. Rank A for the most urgent and important, B for the next most important and C for the least important task.  Follow these priorities.  Make sure the activities you write down are in "executable" and "chopped up" mode.  For instance if you are writing a paper, don't put "write English paper".  Rather, put "write outline for English paper" or "get references, ID top 3 most important references", "Write chapter 1 - background of the issue".  Also, make sure that the time you allot matches the time that you really need. Be realistic. Don't allot 1 hour when all you need is 30 minutes. And vice versa. Your planner is an action plan, not a wishlist.  Stick to it and know yourself.  But do make time for leisure on weekends, breaks, and at least an hour or two at the end of the day. Put enough rest time. You'll need it.  You are not a machine. So you need to "get recharged" and refreshed with enough energy for the next day's work.

1 - Stop wasting time on internet sites lol\n\n2 - Prioritise your workload and make a "To Do" list\n\n3 - If you know that you will not meet your deadline, talk to whoever set it, explain why not and when the work will be completed by.\n\n4 - Look at why you are in this situation. Are you receiving too much work? Have you wasted time? Are you involving others to help you, or delegating properly as appropriate? What can be done to prevent a repeat situation?\n\n5 - Sometimes when I have a lot of work to do I find it helps to actually stand back from it for a little while. I'll go for a short walk outside, clear my head, plan what I am going to do, and then return refreshed and able to better cope with the situation. Despite the time "lost" with the break, I will then be able to complete the work a lot faster and without the stress!

The key is to make time.  You need to be more organized.  Write out a schedule, anything that works for you.  You will find yourself with very little time for things if you do not try and make some.
