I have been with

stretch my horizons. I feel very ambivalent whenever I decide to
talk to him about it. What should I do to get going on this?

Question
Hi Linda, Last month I
wrote in asking how to manage all of my priorities, with the top two (my family
and work) taking a majority of my time. You suggested that I carve out an hour a
week for just ‘me’. I have to admit that this was a foreign concept these days.
With your encouragement I am pleased to say that I have managed to take that one
hour a week for me. I took your advice and am using my hour to attend an
exercise class! Since I work at home, it’s been a great treat just to get out of
the house, and not only that I can already feel my body changing, my energy
increasing, and my mind starting to refocus. When scheduling that hour for
myself that I really had to look at what I wanted to do and realized that the
best thing for myself would be to remove myself from my everyday environment –
away from my computer, my animals, my husband, my kids, my chores – and really
enjoy the time dedicated to me.
Now that I have the time allotted to myself, how do I devote time to things that
are lower down on my list?
Question
My top priorities
are my family and my work - keeping a clean and organized house comes in
a distant third; time for others and myself comes in even further down
the list. With my top two priorities taking up so much of my time, how
do I work my way down the list?
