I will spend those hours with my family and whoever else happens to be physically in my house (maybe I’ll even let myself get bored). I’m doing this for a few reasons. First, I was becoming resentful of the people and things that were preventing me from working during that time. Those “people” happened to be my children and that “thing” was parenting. I ended up stressed about what I wasn’t doing.
So obvious. So important. So something I’m not good at putting into practice.
