I think I overcrowd my days. I don't know if I overestimates, especially on the week ends. This past week ends, I wanted to do some mod melt (https://www.plaidonline.com/learn-about-the-new-mod-podge-mod-melts-mod-molds/194/video.htm), soap, some cleaning chores and some minors things. Didn't happened entirely. I didn't had time for the soap.
So, one of the minor things I wanted to do is going to the post office for a parcel. As I waited in line, I saw an add about some Star Trek stamps. Scotty was there. It made me thinking. I need to better evaluate the time it takes me to do some projects. It is where Scotty comes in. He may be only a fictional character in a fictional science fiction tv show but he had something interesting. His repairs were done at the most critical moment, where the crew needed it the most. I think it was in his episode in Star Trek: The Next Generation where he told Geordie his secret: Scotty always multiple by 2 the time needed to do repairs. So, as the rest of his crewmates were tipping toward despair and need, he was there to save the day at the right time.
I am tempted to go by this principle. Could be useful if there is delay. My problem: I need to know how long it will takes me to do what I want to do. So many variable. For example, for doing soap, it depend on how many soap bases I have. I know the longuest is to melt them and there is not really a set time to do that. I must admit that it is a bit easier for the mod melt. For four package, I can say that it's takes an good part of the afternoon. It is the second time that I makes them with four packages and it took a while to do it.
I guess that it end up doing it for the best and start early...
