Finding time

It's a problem, finding time. I work a 37 + hour week, am usually in a daze from working on a pc all day, then it's home to try & go to the gym (note the word "try", it takes a lot of effort!), cook dinner, make tomorrows lunch and think about what to do with the rest of my evening. We live in a 2 bed apartment, pretty much open plan so there's not much room for peace and quiet. Since starting the blog I have discovered that having the tv on in the background (I live with a sky sports addict) is a real distraction! It sounds awful but I cherish time alone to try and do some writing. This makes me feel guilty! I need to get over this and organise my time better. Hubby would probably be happy to put the headphones on to listen to the tv, so I conclude from this I am just finding excuses. Annie has kindly pointed me the direction of where I could send my stuff, they look like just the kind of thing I like to write, so that is promising. I feel like a sloth wading in treacle at the moment, the winter weather isn't helping. Do sloths hibernate do you know?

  1. I have no idea about sloths and treacle but as for hibernating maybe...lol

    Try taking a notebook to work and scribbling down a few ideas to type up later, I find this helps me. I get so excited about new ideas, I can't think of anything else. At least, if you are writing something down in long hand its giving you a break for staring at a screen.

  2. It is so hard to juggle things when you are working full time. But remember how you fitted in your OU!! Perhaps you could set yourself deadlines for pieces.
