Sound funny coming from me after that big rant, but also prioritise in order of the time it takes to do something.
So if you have 15 mins and there is a 'longer' job on the top of the list, go for the one that you will actually get done, even if it's lower down. It really helps to be able to finish something.
I'm a bit happy with myself today. I cleaned up all the dog carnage in the backyard this morning! woooo.
Just start with one job at a time. Try not to think of everything that needs doing, but something that you can achieve while Peter is sleeping. Do you have a laptop, while I'm in the kitchen either cleaning it or cooking, I have my laptop on the bench. That way, I get my internet time and I'm doing something productive
First thing in the morning, while the girls are having brekkie, I usually put a load of washing on. When the girls have finished their brekkie, they'll usually have a little bit of tv time, this is my time to wash the brekkie dishes, get something out of dinner that night, and hang the washing out. When the washing is ready, I put it on the lounge room floor and I get the girls to help me sort them into piles. Emily (like Peter) is still a little young to do it properly, but at least I'm cleaning while playing with them. And it's kind of fun for them.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
