Good Monday to you all. In true homeschooler fashion; my DD was nearly done with school (yet still in pjs) before DS decided to wake up. Now DD is working on a history test and DS is STILL sipping a drink from breakfast. aka Testing me.
Are you a "get it done" person or more of a procrastinator? Or somewhere in between? How do you keep yourself organized to get things done?
I'm deffinitely in between. For some things I just dive in and do it. Other things; like folding laundry, those get procastinated on for sure. I typically do laundry during the day; but if I walk to my room for a few minutes to fold, the kids get distracted and stop working. Especially DS. I do like task lists sometimes; but it can also just make things feel never-ending; so I don't always use them. I do keep a good lesson plan schedule for our school work. It's just too complex teaching multiple kids without one. At work I was definitely more organized than I am at home. But I feel like things were more routine there. There is routine at home; but kids will really throw you curveballs. And when those curveballs ruin your to-do lists...well its just easier to go with the flow and not get upset over it. At least I'm not still in the days where it took 7 tries (I counted!) just to load the dishwasher because someone was crying.
