How do you "get it all done?"

It seems there are just never enough hours in the day. It seems that when I go to bed at night, I still have a to-do list from around the house that never gets shorter. When I wake in the morning my mind is on overdrive with everything that I need to get done that day both personally and professionally.


When I was a kid both my parents worked outside the house. My memory may be flawed, but I don't remember my parents spending their weekend running around getting "stuff" done, nor do I remember them working as many hours as I seem to work.


How do you get it all done? What do you no longer do? Where can we realistically delegate tasks to others (yes, I realize this costs money) and where can we just save time? What am I doing that I should just stop doing?


I confess that I pay someone to plow the snow from my driveway. I get the kids to do regular chores around the house (and no, they don't like it), they also cut the grass. Warren and I share tasks around the house, both inside and out, so this isn't a case of me trying to do everything myself.

What do you do?
