Small accomplishments gave me the courage to tackle my problem of disorganization. Second, set a schedule and stick to it for at least six weeks. One of the things I have noticed with my clients and myself, is that chaos at home represents what is going on in our heads. I can approach my work at home or at the office with a clear plan, goals, and objectives with action. I can now accomplish just about anything I set for myself.
Many women use egg-timers to time each activity.
I need to remind you this works for me because I do not have small children at home and I am in control of my day. I wish someone had told me when I had 5 children under 12 years of age. Sally, you are not in control of the day, small children, constant needs of others, and your unrealistic expectations control what you accomplish. So relax, do what you can, teach and tell your children and husband how they can help and then let them. Many women are unable to attain self-worth, isolate from others, and become fearful someone might think bad of them.
