confused

I was talking with my coworker today about java stuffs.. interesting and confusing... there are so many frameworks and so many things that it's very hard to keep up with all those stuffs... however to stand out in a crowd one needs to know the concepts, and details will be dealt if necessary....
i myself have been trying to do a lots of things for a past couple weeks... it's really hard to keep up with one thing... like i was reading a book on datawarehouse one day, the next day i am doing python, the third day i am studying the virus source codes, and CDMA and blah blah.... i wonder if this happens to other people also....
there are so many things and so little time... but a little time management should help.... i even bought a self help book titled 'first things first', read half and the remaining is pending... these books are amazing.... really gives you a direction to look into yourself..... i even read a book 'think like a winner' by walter staples... it was excellent... you are what you think...is what this entire book is all about.... if you think, you are a winner, then you are... but you should be committed to it.... i think this thing works.... it did to me...
i have to write admission essays .... there are so many things and yet i am not feeling like doing any of those .... don't remind me of that fierce GRE......
GPRS is not that fun as it sounds... maybe because of its speed and also the mobile screen is toooo small.... anyway technology is a wonder..
