My shop is still a Mess

My shop is a Mess
I began to renovate I workshop during spring break. I have everything piled everywhere was just a path to walk around the periphery of the interior. As much as I try I can't find the time to finish the job I started. I even try to put in as little as an hour a day, that worked a couple of times. But with school in full swing and tests and quizzes at every juncture there just isn't time. Every minute I spend trying to get even one step ahead I feel like I'm forgetting something that's very important.
Each time a walk in the garage I want to grab a handful of stuff and began to organize it. But at the same time I just don't know where to begin. There's stuff everywhere, and I don't want to just move it from place to place without a true sense of purpose. I even went so far as to draw floor plans using AutoCAD and to draw silhouettes of my machines, benches, cabinets, etc. This is been a great help in preventing me from moving things several times. I've been doing virtual rearranging with the help of my wife. At this point I seem to have a pretty good idea how I want it to be arranged, if only I could find the time. The weather has definitely been a blessing last few days, it really gives me the motivation to keep moving forward. It seems I plan my weekends for everything including homework, especially homework. So I ask myself whether my ever going to get this finished. I'm about half done and totally eager to get in there and just hit full force. But I'm torn between what I love and school. Sometimes I feel like I don't spend every waking hour working on homework that I'm guilty of not trying hard enough. But despite my best efforts sometimes my reward is considerable disappointment. It's during those times I really need to work in my shop and the sense of accomplishment that only it can provide.
I had plans to go to woodworking show in Kansas City but when I enrolled in a new CATIA class I had to make a sacrifice. Of course the school won. So now I'm waiting for summer I realize it’s a few weeks away in my list of projects is piling up bigger than ever along with my favorite woodworking magazines. Most everything gets put on the back burner while in school. This is gone on for more than two years, you might think by now be used to it. I don't think anyone can ever get used to it. Sometimes it feels as if there is no end in sight as the homework work piles up from every which direction. I keep trying to budget my time so I get the most out of it. This story reminds me of some good financial advice, that says “always pay yourself first.” That's something I seem to be unable to do; my shop is still a mess.
