And I write the things I want to do for FUN on the lists! Then I am making time for them. But I still feel rushed, so maybe it doesn't work. I make lists!

I'd love to give it a try and see if I still feel well-rested in the morning. Currently I make more time for myself by waking up in the morning before everyoe else does and taking my time getting ready for the day. The two-shift idea sounds very interesting!

I had barely enough time to shower and get ready. AND the later I leave the house for my commute, the heavier (and stressful) traffic is! Then I come home at night (to a house full of roomates) exhausted and yearning for alone time. I now wake up 45 minutes earlier to turn on music, enjoy a shower and relax a little with a coffee before I leave the house. Starting the day in peace really sets a good tone for a long day.

Days taken to make a decision....lollying around and getting absolutely nothing done. I feel like i could have ruled the world if i had any concept of time management. Now i can get more done during a nap that i ever accomplished in hours back then. I also noticed i never have time for me anymore. and those are the trade-off and that's how it works and it won't always be like this, but i needed a little somethn somethn, so i started to wake up at 6am. my husband gets up at 7 and my daughter at 7:30, so i have one fully hour to roam around a perfectly quiet house. write, read, drink leisurely coffee. it's a short time, but it's fulfilling.

Then I'd wake up for a couple of hours, then sleep for 3-4 more hours. Rinse & repeat. And it was wonderful! A little weird at first but I found that I was still getting enough sleep (even though it was way more than I'd normally need) and I'd do things like put in a load of laundry or do the dishes when I had the energy rather than when I thought I "had" to.

Worry is a time thief. If you want to find more time, stop worrying. Worry is a time thief.
