I also typed up a list of reasons why I want to be more disciplined! <br />Thanks for your post!Debbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09294697183610033724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552439499166649100.post-52906180864409754092011-11-02T22:33:26.415-04:002011-11-02T22:33:26.415-04:00Time management is something I struggle with, too....Time management is something I struggle with, too.

If I work on all of these things during the day, I feel guilty for not spending all my time with him.

Life's too short for me to strangle it with chore lists that never quite seem to get completed. I find these lists stressful in themselves. I more like make my blogging fit my life of full time job, pets with needy medical problems, house, gardens, etc. while husband is working in Afghanistan. You have a lot on your plate. Hope you find the magical combination of making it much easier.

I lose track of time reading or watching NCIS. I found that if I discipline myself to do the mandatory work (ie: oversee home school, housework, dinner prepped, etc) then I pick up a book or blog.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting me at A Season for All Things.

I work outside the home too and blog as often as I can, but I am making a conscious effort to blog more often.<br /><br />I would love to get in on reviewing products, especially craft products, but just don't know where to start!( anyone have advice about that?)<br /><br />Thanks for visiting my blog and following, here to do the same!

I also struggle with keeping up with all the review/giveaway posts. Since stuff is continuously arriving at my doorstep, I feel like I'm always behind.<br /><br />I've started keeping track of everything on a google doc spreadsheet. That way I can make sure I meet deadlines and post giveaways in the order they were received.Rachel's Giveawayshttp://rachelsgiveaways.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552439499166649100.post-78193382643900098782011-10-29T12:52:38.495-04:002011-10-29T12:52:38.495-04:00I too need to get better at this!

I have a similar pattern, I check email, keep up with comments and go through my FB page and networking groups. Sine I write one essay a week I usually start it on Wed, but I have not been that organized lately. I have three kids who are now all at school so the day is mine, but I also have cleaning and errands plus I should be going to the gym. I need to have a schedule so I know that everything is getting done!

My main problem is I sit down to write a post or so something specific and when a kid needs me and I need to get off the computer, I realize I checked my email, facebook and twitter and did some other things but never did what I was supposed to.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04013633281843747712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552439499166649100.post-20058967127014858122011-10-29T12:04:47.067-04:002011-10-29T12:04:47.067-04:00Oh wow, that is one of my biggest problems!

First tab on my browser would always be my e-mail inbox. Let's say I'm working on a review post then something interesting comes up in the mail, then I'll check it, the I see another interesting stuff and click through. In the end I finish nothing.<br /><br />I need an orderly life. LOL<br /><br />BTW, Christine here from Life's Cheap Thrills. I'm following you on GFC and subscribed by e-mail. Will follow other social media accounts you have too.

I have a full time job outside the home, a very spoiled and demanding 3 year old, and a clingy husband who wants all my time (even ahead of my son). I find myself blogging at work, making my work get behind, then staying up until 2am trying to get it all done. I actually get caught up in the "fun" stuff about blogging and not the actual planning/reviewing/posting so that's where I need to be more disciplined!!Janethttp://goingcrazywannago.comnoreply@blogger.com
