I made a commitment to myself this week. You see, I've found lately that whenever I was feeling overwhelmed at all I had to do, I'd pick up my phone and start looking at Facebook. That's right, I wouldn't buckle down and get to work; but instead spend time doing one thing that would definitely not make my house any more organized or put food in my fridge or help me get out the door tomorrow. I'd simply bury my head in the quicksand that is Facebook. This in turn would leave me with less time to do what I need to do and feeling even less competent as I read shares by my mommy and non-mommy friends alike about the cookies they were going to bake for the poor this afternoon.
So, as a result of this realization, I made a deal with myself. I may check Facebook once a week if I deem it to be absolutely necessary to keep up with baby pics and the overt opinions of others. The rest of the week, I will have a deactivated account and I will use my time to do something.... anything... more productive! Including writing here. I've been meaning for years to make a habit out of writing and I can't seem to make it happen, mostly because I have been so distracted.
So here goes, once again. Hopefully this time it sticks. :)
