Journaling Prompt for the Day
What provocations or temptations tend to cause you to lose self-control? What safeguards can you set against them?
This is a tough question to start out with!
First, since I'm obviously at the computer instead of cleaning house, I would say the computer is a huge temptation. Once I get started, it is hard to stop. I have a timer, and need to start using that to balance time on the computer with time being a mom and housekeeper.
Jeff and I discussed yesterday how I can be more on track with housework, and I've been using not being able to find my FlyLady Control Journal as an excuse to get on the computer to look to see what I have typed up.
Today I got on in order to print out a new Control Journal, and as you can see, I've gotten sidetracked again.
So once I finally do get it printed out, my goal is to not even turn on the computer or tv until I get my daily routines done. (OK, maybe Sesame Street to entertain Ben while I work.)
