I haven’t posted in awhile and I apologize. It seems that the closer it gets to spring, the busier we get around here. With three children in various activities and all the tasks that I currently have going on with work and other projects, I find that I have a hard time focusing on what’s important and what I really need to get done. Like right now it’s taxes! We don’t prepare our own taxes, I just need to gather all the paperwork that our accountant needs. Ok, so how easy is that? Yet I still procrastinate! I get frustrated with my children when they can’t seem to focus on a simple task and here I am doing the same thing.
I wrote a post about organization awhile back and I think it’s time to revisit this and also other ways to stay focused.
I started listing the top three things I need to do today. #1 today is of course getting paperwork together for taxes (right after I finish this post of course). Make sure you put in a task that is fun, interesting or educating. This will motivate you to get to the end of your list faster.
I also decided to keep most household chores for the late afternoon and evening when the kids are home. This way I can interact with them better than if I was sitting at the computer working. Plus it’s easier to get them to do their chores if I’m working alongside with them.
One of the last things I like to do at the end of the day is to read. This is my way of relaxing and I look forward to it every day. So most evenings by 10:00 pm you can find me with a book in my hands winding down for the night!
What helps to keep you focused and not procrastinate?
