Finding the right time to work

There isn't.

Even when I feel tired or lethargic, I have to snatch free minutes here and there to catch up with what I want to accomplish that day. As a stay-at-home mom to a toddler, it's hardly possible to have any long blocks of time to myself.

If I try to fold those laundry clothes when I feel like it, it's never going to happen. If I have 10 mins to spare, and say to myself, "I'll do it after sometime", guess what happens. My baby wants me to play with her, or wants a snack, or has pooped in her diaper, or it's time to start lunch, or someone drops in, or.... You can add an infinite number of possibilities here.

Nothing is as sure a thing as the present free 10 mins, or even 5 mins. This has been a big lesson for me. Of course, I still procrastinate. That laundry/dumping ground in the guest-bedroom is calling out to me!

I passively observed my classmates in college using this trick, and they were all very successful in the courses they took. They never waited for the right moment. I would never see them simply whiling away time. They would have scheduled downtime and would party like crazy when they did go out, but otherwise they were always busy doing something - homework, studying, practising diagrams, doodling formulae...

Sigh... that laundry is screaming it's head off for me! Okay, okay I'm coming!

I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks for stopping by.
