Figured it out
I figured out how to keep myself sane. Yesterday I was so depressed after my post. I realized just how overwhelming everything can be. I tried to figure out how to get everything I want and need to do into one day and it's just not feasible. Then today I had an "ah ha" moment.
Instead of trying to do everything in one day, I can designate one day a week to each thing, with some other things thrown in. I mean, there's not enough time in one day but there is enough time in one week.
Monday:
Cleaning day. This is when the bulk of the week's cleaning will be. Mostly laundry which seems to pile up. To keep from getting burned out by it I'll do the cleaning in 15 min. increments. The time where I'm not cleaning I can set up things for Reiki or art.
Tuesday:
Art day I. I can work on my artwork all day. Since the kids are at school till 2:20 that will give me plenty of time to work on it. Plus, I can do some light cleaning in the morning to keep up with everything. Figure if I start working on my artwork at about 10 am, then I'll have 4 hours to draw.
Wednesday:
Free day. Because the kids will always have a half day on Wednesdays I can have it as a free day. Maybe do something fun with the kiddies. Again, some light cleaning while they're at school and maybe a bit of either art or studying between cleaning and the kids getting home. A good day for projects.
Thursday:
Study day. Once again, light cleaning in the morning. Then 4 hours of studying. it's not much but it's better than nothing.
Friday:
Catch up. If I have a commission to do then I'll work on my art. If I don't then I'll study. Cleaning too.
Weekends:
Have fun.
