12 Steps to Inefficient Packing

I want to get home early today. My packing plan is SO not working! I come home from work between six and seven most days, and what do I do? Not much. I turn on my computer and check my e-mail. I read the paper. I make some dinner. I watch the news. And then I move some boxes back and forth. Begin packing a new box and run into problems filling it. Put it aside and begin another one. Wonder where to put it. Decide I need to clear out some space and begin to sort through things I might be able to throw away. Open some closets and take out things I might want to sort through as well. Get confused. Decide that I need to do some cleaning before I pack any more. Start folding things up again, putting them away into closets, and ranging them into shelves. Fill up the closets. Do some cleaning. Give up cleaning, because there's so much stuff lying around and so many boxes in the way that it's useless. Try to pile up the boxes a little better. Feel tired. Sit down and watch the rest of a show for a while. Panick. Stand up and try to get going again. Feel exhausted. Do the dishes. Go to bed.
