What about you?  How much of your “free time” is consumed by planning or managing your children’s, spouses, friends, or boss’ extra curricular activities? I know people who would fit into the 23% stated in the article, but I also know people who could make a career out of taking care of others schedules.  These people spend so much time planning things for others they quite often have little time left for themselves. For those of you who have multiple schedules to keep track of, Centerd.com has created some great new tools to keep things organized.  Take a few minutes to read the article (link above) and check out their website.  It is likely to save you time and frustration.
