Home Office: Control at least some of your own time each day

Published by debcook under Living Edit This

Tomorrow will the busiest day of the week – Tuesdays always are. Sometimes I wonder what makes so many people follow the same routine. I wish there were an extra Saturday stuck in the middle of the week so that I could get caught up.

What things do you let go when there are not enough hours in the day to get everything done? Let’s see, I do not load or unload the dishwasher and my bed covers are left in disarray. Does it hurt anything that I let these duties carryover to another day? Not that I can tell.

I do find that my motivation suffers when I postpone things that I want to do. If you noticed in previous post I wrote that I want my work life to be integrated with my personal life. The subject of this post explains why I feel that way. I constantly fit in little tasks amongst work projects that have zip to do with work. It is much like having a garage sale that makes $100 when the same time spent at work could have earned $300. Cleaning out the junk feels better. Maybe it is the satisfaction of completing a project.

Then again, maybe it is as simple as wanting control of my own time. I will take what I can get when I can get it.
