Anyway, glad to see that word, and glad you don't have to be in work mode every day.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648805632326563495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8364051899386841101.post-33477021080528611642009-01-17T18:08:00.000-05:002009-01-17T18:08:00.000-05:00Meghan - I totally can accomplish alot more, and a...Meghan - I totally can accomplish alot more, and alot more efficiently, when I'm in my "work mode" as Daniel calls it. I think it's one thing that got ingrained in me from growing up on the farm. Sometimes you just gotta do whatever it is that you gotta do, and just do it and get it done no matter what, and do it quickly. But I hate being in "work mode". My brain is always fried afterwards!Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03171889409871334109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8364051899386841101.post-63749889729170126662009-01-17T17:35:00.000-05:002009-01-17T17:35:00.000-05:00Way to stick to it and get it done!

I tell my husband I must have ADHD because completing a task is a major victory for me sometimes. <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Getting fresh air sounds like it did the trick too.

I think Daniel had good advice. We have stuck to our routine around here, and it does help. Lists are even better. Our routine is simple enough just doing the "have-to's" mostly, that I don't have things written down at this point. But, one day, Lord willing, it will expand to more than "have to's" and I'll be writing lists.<BR/><BR/>Good going!

Brush your hair and your teeth, wash your behind and put on a prettypair of undies and you'll feel alot better!!!!juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00706410470823141366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8364051899386841101.post-57781646675925239362009-01-16T12:41:00.000-05:002009-01-16T12:41:00.000-05:00From Aliisa:I usually have those "it" moments abou...From Aliisa:<BR/><BR/>I usually have those "it" moments about this time of the year. The holidays are done and Im still working on getting my house back in order. I feel overwhelmed with day to day stuff and all the extras that pile on top of it. Not to mention being cooped up in the house. And of course already making plans for the garden etc...but not being able to do anything about it. *sighs* Life in general can just be overwhelming. How do I deal with it? I do what you have done, I make a list...several actually. One big one of all the "extras" and then a daily list that include a couple of those extras on it. I also carve out "me time". This is 10 minutes in the morning before my daughter gets up...I read my bible. I take a nice, long, warm bath every night and just soak away the stress of the day and read a chapter in a book. And if Im lucky, maybe 1/2 an hour during the day to work on a project.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps!!Aliisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18015708881047823801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8364051899386841101.post-19276293611897506102009-01-16T12:16:00.000-05:002009-01-16T12:16:00.000-05:00I love reading your blogs!

I think that staying busy is the key. When I'm at home, if I ever sit down - I'm a done deal! I also think that morning shower brightens up everyone to get a good start! Probably winter is getting to us all. If you can get a walk or some exercise in, that always gets my blood pumping and brightens my mood! Take care..<BR/>JC in MissouriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8364051899386841101.post-76816258251722153662009-01-16T10:52:00.000-05:002009-01-16T10:52:00.000-05:00That's a great idea.
