I have time settings on the computer for my kids and when their time is up, they log off. On occasion though, Dylan will be doing homework and needs more time to complete it. What then? A screen comes up asking for parental permission to “allow more time”. When I type in my password I am given the option to allow 15 minutes, 30 minutes, etc. Why am I bringing this up?
Yesterday, I desperately wished I had a “allow more time” button for the day. 15 minutes to finish a document for one of the three swim meets I have coming up {I am the meet director for a local swim team}.. 30 minutes to finish two documents encompassing two of the three swim meets.. 45 minutes so that I could finish anything else on my long and ever-growing “to-do yesterday” list.
The problem is that I am a procrastinator; I have an A+ in that subject! I spent too much time doing “nothing work” and not enough time doing “house work”, so that by the end of the day when my sister verified that yes indeed, we were having company for dinner, we all had to stop whatever we were doing and do a “quick clean”.
…and as I sit here contemplating my words and the changes I could have made to my day yesterday to allow me more time, the phone rings and my day is instantly changed. It was the school nurse beckoning me to pick up my niece, whom is sick with a fever.
Really, I wasn’t kidding. I wish I had a “allow more time” button!
What changes have you made to make your day more productive? How do you adjust your schedule when something comes up out of the blue? I’d love to hear from you. ☺
Until tomorrow (unless I’m full of energy when I get home tonight!),
