You know, it’s that constant Spidey Sense that tingles whenever you know that YOU are in charge… even if they are playing in the front room while you are in the kitchen, it’s like our senses are on overdrive.

And the minute the hubby comes and takes them, all those senses drop from exhaustion. Five minutes MATTERS.

Valerie, I totally relate! Especially if I’m in bed with the laptop, and I just want to hang out, lol…

I’m a day late as always but wow!, I think I can probably squeeze in 5 min a day writing…hehe. My problem is not the timer…it’s the shiny objects (like Facebook & MySpace) that lure me away.
I PROMISE to start with five minutes a day and try to work up from there.
Thanks for the great article!

You would probably love the AutoCrit Editing Wizard. It is ideal for working in small chunks of time.

Thanks, Kris, that is a great tip! It’s all in how to outsmart the voice in our head that says we can’t – either because we’re too busy, we procrastinate or whatever else. Very wise technique indeed.

It took a while for him to get interested in his contraptions…still not fully interested in his play mat. His favorite past time is sitting in my or my hubby’s lap while we sing songs to him.

Thanks for the pass. But I don’t have two other kids as well. I don’t know how you do it, Eliza.
