Overwhelming.

Overwhelming.
That is the amount of work there is to be done.
It is an overwhelming amount of work.
There are infinate things that could be done.
There are nearly infinate things that need fixed.

Customers that need called.
Designs that need done.
Meetings to schedule.
People to meet.

It is really a lot to coordinate.
I've been working really hard on prioritizing.
Just picking 2 things that really need done for the day to be sucessful.
Just 2 and get them done as quickly as possible....without distractions......that is also hard...limiting distractions.
