I used to multitask and about pulled out my hair. I like your method more — I feel calmer, and amazingly stuff still does get done. I’m not sure how, but I like the results!

Thanks for sharing this, Stephanie. I really appreciate the reminder to be actively “present” and “in the moment” with my children. It’s too easy to get in the trap of doing too many things at once (folding laundry, making a to-do-list, thinking about what to make for dinner) and thus not doing anything particularly well. I want my girls to know that I am interested in who they are and what they are doing, not to think that I always have some “side agenda” of things to work on. Like you said, the other chores will get done…I want my kids to be at the top of my priority list.

Thanks for the great post. It’s so easy to get lost in all that “needs” to be done. Focusing on the original reasons I stayed home, and giving them my undivided attention, is what’s most important.

Ouch, my toes! LOL! I find myself doing this so many times as I’m distracted by things I need to do.

Wow! This really hit me hard! I have so much trouble with this!

I am going to focus more this week on trying out your suggestions! I want to be there for my kids, and live in the moment…not the next minute!

Thank you for giving me this opportunity to guest post here. This is a daily discipline that I try to practice, of course some days better than others!

I needed this reminder, Stephanie. I’m a multi-tasker, but you are so right… “not doing more, but BEING more” is so very important. Excellent post!

Oh, thanks for the great post. I’ve been working on focusing less on getting things done and focusing more on the important stuff.

I actually wrote a post on Monday about How to Have A Great Week!

With those goals and this post fresh in my mind….I am sure to succeed!!
