Ponderings: The Craziness of life.

I cannot believe the load of responsibility that each of us carry - it's insane. I was pondering this yesterday, and got overwhelmed with deconstructing my daily responsibilities, and was no longer at a loss as to why I was overloaded. 

My 1st business: 
- Teach a class
- Follow up with each attendee
- Seek out new contacts
- Schedule future classes
- Order stuff
- Deliver samples
- Follow up with samples
- Get an answering machine every time
- Watch training videos
- Read training blogs
- Order more stuff
- Train business partners
- Instagram
- Blog
- Team emails

My 2nd business:
- Make new items
- Fill existing orders
- Order stuff
- Keep postings current
- Business meetings
- Plan ahead for holidays

My 3rd job:
- Make myself presentable
- Don't fall asleep
- Pick up kids
- Entertain said kids
- Feed them ice-cream
- Don't fall asleep

My 4th job:
- Wash dishes
- Laundry
- Sweep
- Vacuum
- Put clothes away
- Iron
- Clean counters
- Maintain bathrooms
- Cook dinner
- Grocery shop
- Meal plan
- Make meals
- Get new car insurance
- Get new registration 
- Get a Texas EZ Tag
- register car
- sell car
- car shopping

- distribute budget
- deal with asshole drivers

My 5th job:
- Maintain friendships
- Try to remember to communicate with husband
- Try to remember to reach out to people
- Feed dog
- Walk dog
- Kiss dog

And I wonder why I wake up tired, and come home at the end of the day with the desire to watch netflix. I'm tired. I don't even have kids... How do people do it? It's a mystery to me.

What's the solution? How do people do it? Even as I write this, I am too tired to edit this post. I love my life, but it feels like I can't seem to keep up with it, and it seems like life falls through the cracks more often than not. What do you do?
