When I work the plan ... the plan works for me!
It doesn't mean that it's the solution for everyone though.

I have an extra thing in the balancing act ... I have my office in my home. Sometimes it's too easy to say, oh I'll cut work early and go and sew or to do a load of laundry or wash dishes (imagine that!) etc.!! Likewise it's all too easy to work too many hours on the paying stuff ... and then the house chores get skipped and/or there is no ME time left.

It took me a long time to learn that the ME time is a MUST ... if I want to keep my sanity, and to recharge my batteries for all the other things that life throws at me and that I must accomplish. That ME time for me is to make time to sit and sew. I know it makes me a better person for all else in life. Once I came to that realization that I was IMPORTANT and had to be cared for more-so than other things, I changed my whole outlook on time management to include it!
