Focus

Whew!  I've had a busy week...finding a car to replace our Altima that got totaled, lots of organizing sessions (yay!), substituting at our son's school, late-night board meetings at said school, trying to keep up with the daily tasks of my "Clutter-Free Living" Challenge, and fighting off a cold.

Life likes to keep us busy, doesn't it?!

We all have busy times--and then the dishes pile up, and the laundry, and the dirt--and it's OK.

I'll be the first person to say that you feel better when your home is uncluttered, but sometimes we just have to let that stuff go to get through the day.

Go to bed at 7pm, let the laundry go one more day, leave the dishes in the sink.

And then get up early the next morning and get to work!

When our bodies and minds have reached their limit--we need to just stop and take a minute to reset. Hurried work is sloppy...and who wants to re-do everything they just did?

Give yourself permission to take care of yourself (for once!) and then come back to the tasks well-rested and focused.
