Lessons from Getting Behind

As frustrated as I have been about getting so far behind in my many projects, there has been some value in this time.

I have been reminded how to "go with the flow" when things don't go the way you planned. After all, life is not obliged to follow your plan. The more you can work with where you are and what you have, the less time & energy you spend stressing and the more you can spend on important things; like the ones you love.

Speaking of: I was also reminded that it's not about how clean my house is but my relationship w/my husband & kids. My kids need my time & attention much more than to live in a BH&G worthy house.

I also have learned that I'm not a great multitasker. If I'm working on four projects, they will not be done well if they even get completed. However, if I focus on one at a time, all four are not only completed (in a timely manner) but are well done. Going forward, I need to prioritize my projects, then work on one at a time.

These insights & reminders have come none too soon as we adjust to having a baby and our son adjusts to kindergarten and I attempt to catch up & move forward in the house and on the farm. I am excited that we have already made some progress in getting our garage & bonus/play room cleared out & organized. Maybe we'll even be able to have people over!
