As I type this I am listening to Hubby on the drums plus a saxophone and bass playing smooth jazz! I saw a handwritten post on the bulletin board at the coffee shop saying an experienced sax player was looking for people to play with - any type of music. His wife plays the bass and they live very near so they are jamming today for the first time.
So this coming week is pretty much empty in terms of scheduled activities. Just an ophthalmologist appt on Thursday and babysit the 8 year old Friday evening for parents date night. The toddle stays at daycare for Kid's Night Out lol. We are going to have really warm Spring weather Monday and Tuesday so I hope to be out enjoying it. I decided not to try to garden this year and that limits my yard work so I can just enjoy.
I've almost caught up on my neglected no deadline pile of tasks which feels great. I read about the idea of having a "power hour" to just power through the tasks that need to be done and have adopted the mindset but not timing it. It really has helped!
What we ate for dinner last week
Chicken with leftover grain and coleslaw
Leftover turkey Mac & salad
Vegetable dumplins (frozen) & zucchini
Shrimp cocktails & salad
Chicken vegetable stir fry & brown rice
Take out pizza slices and Caesar salad
Salmon, carrots & peas
I like that power hour idea. It would probably not take longer that what I already do, but would "feel" easier because you know its just for an hour. Genius.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is helping me get unstuck even though I don't time it.
DeleteThe power hour idea is an interesting one. I sometimes do things in 15 or 30 minute spurts and then rest or go on to another task instead.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I think it is most helpful with home/family admin work (paperwork, emails, calls)
DeleteYummy menu! I end the day with a power hour most nights. Right before bed, I realize that I have to get the dishes put away, the couch set right, clutter picked up. Of course, that's not the plan -- but how it always goes. Lately I have gotten things off of the list in my mind. And it always feels so good!
ReplyDeleteThe nagging mind list is great to check off.
DeleteI like the idea of a power hour, too. We are experimenting with different times to go to the gym. I get frustrated when I am in the middle of something and it is our agreed on time to go to the gym. Today we went first thing - even before breakfast. Think that's going to work well.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to get exercise done first thing.
