Hi Thea. Rest assured, you are not alone. What’s so funny to me is that I am in the same exact boat right now. In fact, at this moment I am researching new marketing strategies as I force myself to sit so as to not feel guilty about it.

It is very easy to get wrapped up in editing and fixing your website, blog, etc. I would say to myself, ok I’ll give myself 1 hour and then get up and balance things out and take care of the laundry, etc., but before I know it, it’s 3:20 and I have to meet the bus. It’s hard to do it all, but like you said, boundaries are the answer.

Don’t feel guilty about resting when you need it- sometimes that’s when the best ideas come to mind. And the kids are only kids for so long. Enjoy them.

I love that you mentioned that videos are easier for you than writing a post, because half way through I started thinking… go take your nap! But now knowing that you were taking care of yourself by choosing the mode of most ease, I think you’ve already begun to set up a few boundaries. I think learning to shut down and turn off work is the challenge of this new age of technology. Thank you for opening the discussion. One of my biggest problems is trying to stay focused. Being at home for work means that there are constant distraction,s and I seem to circle from laundry, dishes, computer, etc. without fully completing anything on the first go around. I’m working on it. xx
