SELF control?
I have been thinking about to do lists and having time to unwind and time to play with my family and time...... there seems to be not enough time. I think I have come to the conclusion that much of my time is wasted figuring out what to do next or what my priorities should be.
So I have come up with a plan just this minute that I hope, will help.
Now that I have every weekend off I don't want to waste it doing stuff that needs doing at home I want that to be family time as much as possible. therefore, I will have to get myself together to do the to do stuff after work during the week.
So......
I will make myself a schedule. Nothing elaborate and nothing that takes too long so that I won't feel like I am running after the last bus.
I am starting to get myself together at work and feeling like I am getting more on top of things so I need to do this at home as well.
Maybe with a posted list my family may even help out? maybe....
oh let me dream, sometimes they do pitch in.
A regular schedule would also help me feel less stressed and tired. Some days I almost think I could slip into depression if I don't get myself under control.
So enough dreaming, now to the plan that will help me to focus.

So if you’re going to have a list of tasks that need to be done, why don’t you also delegate them so that they will be done by the children. Perhaps even attach a reward system to the tasks that includes what you do on the weekend.
For example, if the laundry is done, figure out an appropriate time reward. e.g. Go out for ice-cream as a family etc. Just a thought.
As for self-control, I’ll sit here eating my chips thinking about that cliche don’t throw rocks in glass houses – or whatever it is.
Hope it all works for you!
Did you know that I recently did a blog post on housework too? But mine was more grumbling rather than being pro-active.
Glad you are settling into your new job – how is Mr Attitude going?
