New Series: The Homemaker’s Clock
One of my biggest struggles as a new stay-at-home mom is managing my time. I have an inclination to self-indulgence and laziness. I also struggle with being task-oriented to a fault… feeling like a failure if I’m not consistently productive, checking everything off my to-do list. I am easily distracted (especially by the glowing beacon of the computer screen!). And I am legitimately fatigued much of the time, since I am still up multiple times per night with Christian.
How do I balance all of this? How do I rest purposefully without wasting time? How can I be productive and efficient without being an obsessive perfectionist? Most importantly, how can I glorify the Lord with how I spend my time as a homemaker?
I know I’m not alone in trying to figure this out. So I invite you to read along each Wednesday (starting tomorrow) as I explore what God’s Word has to say to me on the topic of managing my time as a wife and mother.
Thanks, Tamara. Trust me, I could be MORE honest and transparent. I am far from perfect – and I don’t say that as a cliche.
One of the projects I’ve had hanging over my head forever is cleaning out our garage. We have a bunch of boxes and random stuff in there that we’ve collected since moving in, and I have yet to go through it all! It drives me crazy in the back of my head!
My worst thing is that I have to clean out my office. Guess where my computer is? That’s right! It is so hard to try and work all round the computer, and not get on it!
