Creative teaching and writing

Does anyone else ever feel like they need a clone? In teaching I always found there were so many creative ideas to try, the actual teaching to plan and execute, the discipline, paperwork, and other daily tasks, and never enough time for it all! I’m facing the same dilemma writing curriculum — too many ideas, not enough time to work on them all, research to be done. I feel I need a twin or a clone, someone who thinks like I do, who can help with mountains of research and somehow graft it all into my brain. How do people ever “move up” the educational ladder, or get involved in all these extra-curricular projects and balance that with “real life?”
