Most of my time wasting is done on the computer so I have decided to schedule set times for when it is on. Im tired of making excuses too - or on the other hand seeing how much I get done one day with the computer off and then have it on the next day and not get anything done. So for me it will be making that "down" time and sticking it to it. Other than that I am also in the process of doing up a list of stuff I want to do with the kids regularly to give this place some rhythm. Things like story time craft time, letter of the week, number of the week, indoor play, outdoor play, play doh, tv morning, etc. which are mostly from the parenting passageway site. That way I can also intersperse housework with the things I do with the kids. Not that I don't do them now but I think if I do a rough routine for myself for the days I am at home I might keep myself more accountable! Hope that sorta makes sense!
