My answer is simply some reference material: Sister Beck gave a talk at Women's Conference at BYU last month. I'm sure the transcript will eventually be on the website:
(It looks like her talk will be broadcast this Wed. at 7 pm. on BYU TV)
Anyway, in that talk, she suggests a system of a 3-column list that helps you organize your priorities and she claims that you'll be surprised how many of your fun "would like to do" things you'll get done.
I agree with above. Also, make sure YOU are a priority. It's easy to say, "But my kids need this and this and this..." But if Mom's not revitalized every once in a while, no one's happy!
There was a talk or article I read once, that said to write down ALL of your commitments and priorities. Then put an A next to the MUSTs, a B next to the PROBABLY SHOULDs, and a C next to the WOULD LIKE TOs. Then start with the As. Once they're done, do the Bs, then the Cs. Like Steph said, you get to a lot more Cs than you think!

I'm with Steph.
Also learn to listen to the LORDS voice - in regards to what you should be doing with your time. No one else's.
