I also have more things to focus on now, as to when the kids were little and I was a fulltime mom. That's all I did, so I wasn't as scatted. That's my thinking and I'm sticking to it. :-) Marianne (Mare) Baker Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663143060069193124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145927514108811253.post-58041530043341621392012-10-11T19:52:37.347-04:002012-10-11T19:52:37.347-04:00Time flies these days whether I'm having fun o...Time flies these days whether I'm having fun or not. I sometimes feel frustrated by the amount of time I spend on the computer, but just turning it off is not always an option. A lot of daily tasks involve using the computer, but I am way too easily sucked into non-essentials when I am online.

It is a way of focusing, zeroing in for a short time in a concentrated effort. I think,we have more choice in how we spend our time now. Before, a house full of kids mandated every minute. Now, with a bit more flexibility, we aren't familiar with how to handle it. A huge thing for me is focus. If I know what the next thing is, it really helps, rather than, hmmm, what shall I do now? The 25 minute Pomodoro is just right for me to say, OK, just 25 minutes concentrating on [this], and that seems doable and comfortable. Great website, lots of info and encouragement.

Now I don't seem to be quite as productive. One friend mentioned that I am doing more things now that the kids aren't chipping in on the big chores like yard work, dishes, laundry but still I do sit and do nothing more than I'd like to admit. Oh and did I mention the body aches when i overdo! ugh!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10204165708189660644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145927514108811253.post-12425874676635667642012-10-10T09:27:02.146-04:002012-10-10T09:27:02.146-04:00I was just bemoaning the fact that we are watching...I was just bemoaning the fact that we are watching too much tv lately.
