Thought some of you would like to know how my New Year's resolutions are going. Actually, if you've been following the blog, you probably already have an idea.
Making a commitment to write and scrapbook weekly has been really freeing. That might seem surprising, especially since it involves devoting time to both on a weekly basis, thus reducing the actual amount of free time that I have. On the contrary, it makes me use my time even more wisely.
Since I know I want to accomplish these tasks every Tuesday/ Thursday, I try not to overschedule the rest of my day on those days. Plus, when I look at my to-do list for those days, I quickly prioritize what must be done, so that I can make the most of every minute.
Granted, I don't always get to spend as much time as I'd like on certain tasks, especially since the time is contingent on how long Leah will nap. Still, knowing that I'll have SOME time is reassuring. Plus, though these pursuits might not be as intellectually challenging as teaching, they do allow for some intelligent thought (or so I hope) as well as creativity. I have to step out of mommy-mode sometime!
Speaking of which, my "superviser" (Leah) beckons. Until next time...
