So many goals, so little time...

Am I trying to do too much at once or is it possible to accomplish many things at the same time?

I have many plans. I am an expert at writing things into my appointment book. The trouble comes when I need to take action.

Why do I keep expecting the future-me to be less of a procrastinator than present-me? Is something magical going to happen between now and and when the next item on my calendar pops up?

It's almost like once it's on my calendar, I can ignore it. Heck, I already dealt with the issue/study plan/workout schedule/appointment by putting it on my calendar in the first place, right?

Perhaps my planning is not specific, measurable, attainable, realistically high, or time parametered enough? (10 points to whoever gets that one.)

Maybe I'm not the 'good' planner that I think I am. My planning consists of writing things on my calendar like 'run' or 'study' into certain time slots during the week. My phone alerts me to these events, but I still ignore them! Vague planning = deadly inaction when it comes to execute the plan?
