Much of my life seems to be about trying to eke out time where no time exists… quickly sewing something whilst food cooks – making my promotional bags 10 at a time in quick snatched bursts whilst no-one is looking.
A recent trend in the papers (I imagine a yearly event in January) is the study of SELF CONTROL & WILLPOWER.
One solution I have found to work for me is using the hour before anyone else is up to get a bit of work done. As not a natural early riser this is at a horrible 6am on weekdays and (as I write) a much more acceptable 7.30 at the weekend.
The key to doing this I have also found is not to plan to do anything too demanding – serious decisions are too daunting to make bleary eyed at 6am – the mind-numbing stuff is best. Fortunately there is a lot of leg-work/ labour-intensive slog in my work. There is no better time of day for sock sewing.
