Staying On Task?

February 7, 2012 By Mrs. Mom 4 Comments

Making a schedule isn’t the easiest thing to do when you are a mother, wife, and a student.  There are just to many variables.  So, I sit down, plan it out, and start moving forward.  I may or may not do exactly what the schedule says, because of the potty dance interruptions and the requests for scissors and glue, but I do my best.

Today was my second day back at school and my professors have given me a lot to do.  I think they want to make sure that my every waking moment is filled with Literature and Language. I was up all night reading the syllabi and scheduling my tasks.  Well, I tried to anyway.  I was doing fine until about 2am when I could no longer function.  I found myself looking at the planner and paper wondering what to do next.  Finally, I went to bed.

This morning I knew I had school work so I did some house work before and my hair before I got started with my reading assignments.

A different hair style

Eventually,I sat down and began reading and although the story was very interesting, I was tired…so, I took a nap.  I did get a lot of work done, but I have other things that I need to do in order to make sure that my family is on task.  Thats the thing about being a mother.  Staying on task isn’t just about me.  Its about my whole family.  I’ll make it work.  I think I am going to try and apply a technique that I have been learning about.  I am going to put my big rocks in first.  That means that I am going to attack all of my important tasks first thing in the morning so that I have the energy  do them instead of waiting until later on in the day when I’m tired.  This should be very helpful.

Well, I’m off to the grocery store.
