Our house is typically busy and very, very loud. However, while making dinner last night, I realized that there was no choas, no drama, no catastrophe grabbing my attention. I took the opportunity to read a few pages from my book while stirring dinner. Wouldn't you know it...as my face was in my book, dinner burned.
As parents, we get used to stealing short moments here and there for ourselves. Unfortunately, if we choose these moments while we're busy doing something else, we usually end up having to redo what would have been perfect if we had simply paid more attention to ONE thing. Related to this is the inability to start something and completely finish it. I have half-finished things lying all around the house, waiting for me to sit down and focus until it's completed. Of course, when they eventually get finished, it's a feeling that can't be beat!
So that's a good lessons - one thing at a time. Start something, focus on it, and then finish it. (Eek - easier said than done but I'll try!)
