I feel like I've had the most unproductive month! Actually, the most unproductive last 2 months. I'm getting things done, but am getting so incredibly sidetracked. I'll start to do one thing, then remember something else that I should be doing and go do that. Then forget what I was doing in the first place!
I'm placing too much emotional energy into my son's food allergies and that is causing me to be tired and stressed. So, I'm not being very efficient at anything I do. We have 11 days left in the month and I have quite a few things I'd like to accomplish before then. So, what I am going to do? Get tough with myself and make a schedule! Because I have different activities on different days, my schedule will vary from day to day, but I want it to go something like this:
6:30: Wake Up!
6:30-7:45: Take care of the dog, feed the boys and get them to school
7:45-8:00: Eat breakfast, read the newspaper
8:00-9:30: Meet friends to exercise
9:30-Noon: Run errands and do chores at home
Noon-1:00: Lunch w/hubby
1:00-2:00: Finish chores and begin prepping dinner
2:00-5:30: Shower, help boys with homework, do my Bible Study homework
5:30-7:30: Boys at football practice...and if I'm not with them I want to finish dinner, then complete Rosetta Stone lessons and/or work on crafts
7:30-9:00: Dinner, clean up, prep lunches, review homework if needed and get boys to bed
9:00-10:00: Sit, make list of TTD for next day, read, have glass of wine with hubby
10:00: Bedtime
How about you? What do you do to avoid time wasters? Do you have a schedule you follow or just fly by the seat of your pants?
