Crisis mode vs. Lazybone-itis
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008Why is it that I don’t seem to have a “mode” other than crisis or lazybone? Last Tuesday, I worked my tail off all day long and managed to have the house reasonably presentable as well as plan a girl scout meeting. I’ve been in lazy mode ever since! Oh, I’ve accomplished SOME things, but I have piles of dishes, laundry, paperwork, and 177 messages in my inbox right now - a whole bunch of them from customers who need my help.
Today, I’m trying to get myself into a new mode - “blessing”. Flylady talks about housework blessing the family, and she’s totally right, IMHO. So instead of daily tasks encroaching on time spent on selfish pleasure (I REALLY want to play a computer game!), I’m going to focus on how much better my family and I feel with clean dishes, clothes in our drawers, and for me, happy customers and an emptier inbox.
