Matt, you have to pick daisies as the opportunity presents itself. Look at the following example of a busy young man and how he could fit daisy picking into that schedule. (The names have been removed to protect the innocent.)

"I got 10 minutes to walk from my car to the ECU wood shop (DAISY PICKING TIME) where I inhale sawdust for 2 hours, then after that right upstairs to CA where I listen to Carl ramble about fonts for 2 hours, then head down to the darkroom sinks for an hour and a half to develop film, they maybe 20 minutes after that to get eat something (DAISY PICKING TIME) and let the film dry, then back in the darkroom for the next 4 hours and 15 minutes, then walk a mile over to the Newman Center, carve pumpkins with pals for 2-3 hours (DAISY PICKING TIME), then back to the car (in the dark) (DAISY PICKING TIME), drive home, and get cracking on CA homework for Wednesday's class, loading new film in the camera to start work for next Thursday's photo crit!"

I realize it isn't much but you have to start slow. And you should focus on making daisy time. As I keep telling my stressed out friend at work. You cannot wait for the time. You have to make time for picking daisies.

Of course, I am as guilty as anyone at not picking enough daisies.

Thanks, Noreen, for the thread. Thanks to Praise and Mcgrath for the poem and song.
