How do you balance all of life's responsibilities?

      I give myself plenty of time to do things, and schedule way more downtime than a normal person would probably need. In fact, my downtime is probably why I can do other things. For example, I have a flexible work schedule so I work certain days. I clean on certain days. I do laundry on a certain day. I study on certain days. If I don't clean or study, I don't beat myself up about it. There's always tomorrow. I schedule time for hobbies too!

      I make sure that if I feel frustrated I walk away and do something else like cleaning helps me or reading something that's off the phone. Then I get back to it when I calm down which usually means that I did some stuff I needed to do for the day while I was taking a break.

      I'm a graduate student, work part time, and have three children. There is always something to be done, and I'm terrible at balancing it all. I'm glad I'm not alone!

      Oh my. Not too terribly good at that at the moment. I do the "have to's", make pets are fed, have water, bathroom is clean, good food to eat, etc. Then I may not be on top of laundry. Like I have clean clothes but they never got folded. I just can't stay on top of everything. I'm learning that that is ok. Hard though. I use to pretty dang good at staying on top of things.
