Re: Time ?????

My problem is not the time its feeling overwhelmed by the amount that needs to be done. I need someone behind me to chivvy me into action.
Having real problems getting on with things.

Re: Time ?????

Just put everything off until tomorrow, it's called "pacing" I believe.

Re: Time ?????

I don't know how I found time to work , I did 3 jobs for a long time and still did all the things needed doing at weekends and even had a social life often late nights too , now I'm 4 yrs into semi retirement and I don't know where weeks and months go , a month is like 2 weeks and a week is like 3 days , I lose track of time and days .

I like it though

Forget ironing
I bung my clothes in the dryer and then fold sternly!

Re: Time ?????

I have found, once you retire, your brain adapts to the slower pace of life.

I set targets, where l have to complete a certain amount of tasks within a certain time or before l go out!
I find this way of doing things, quickens me up and l get things done!

ironing ???? That brought back a special memory to me ...
When my father passed away at the age of 65
my mother came to live with me ...
My mother was doing some ironing ..
My daughter at 3 years old asked her "What is that"
When I got home from work my mother look at me
and said you don't iron much ...lol
Sadly she died the year after my father at 64...
Being out of work at 62 ...have to stay business ...
I don't fancy the family tradition ...just lying around lol
