5 habits for getting things done when I'm overwhelmed~
*Start, and end, each day with a tall glass of water
*Do something with the laundry each day. Do a load, fold a load, whatever. Just something.
*Before being lazy and sacking out in front of the TV, do just 10 minutes of hard work. In 10 minutes, you can clean the bathroom countertops, or wash a few dishes, or throw a load in.
*go to bed by midnight at the latest, even if it requires drugging myself with benadryl, because I am useless if tired in the morning. And cranky.
*get dressed by 10am every day. Make an attempt to look presentable, and you'll feel less slovenly, and probably get more done.
Does anyone else have a list? How do you keep from feeling overwhelmed???

I feel overwhelmed all the time. Less so now that Dave is back, but still.
When he was gone, I forced myself to leave enough time in the morning to do something with the laundry. I'm with you on that, that was a really good one.
I'm also with you on the "do something for a few minutes before you sit down". Once I sit, it's all over. I try not to stop moving until it can become a permanent condition for the evening. :)
Ummm... I like the water one. Maybe I'll try that. I don't know what else I do. I definitely spent a few months telling myself to "just keep going" and eventually it was better. I think it was the pregnancy that made it so hard because of the fatigue, and I think your night shift does the same thing- anything that makes you extra tired makes *life* so much harder.
I'd do something useful to help you if I was closer. :( Or probably not since I can barely pull myself together ;) but at least we could be overwhelmed together!
OH! I know what I do. I gave myself permission to let clutter get out of control. :) And boy did it ever. Do you remember my parents' counter top growing up? Mine could give that thing a run for its money... wait. Is this supposed to be a good thing?!

The kitchen countertops will be one of by far the most favorite areas on the town by the family members and even viewing friends and family. The supplies helpful to put up a kitchen has to be of great quality given the certainty that it can be the most used room inside residence.
