My latest strategy is to put a time on each activity, like instead of writing on the list...do taxes, I'm writing...work on taxes for 1 hr. This is helping me break it down to chunks and make sure that my time expectations are realistic so I'm not constantly feeling overwhelmed and unproductive.

Contentment
IMG_0862.JPG, originally uploaded by zaellen. Talk about empowerment and relaxation. One of my favorite places to hike and meditate, as much as someone like me meditates...more like zone out with my camera, looking up and down and all around, breathing deeply.
Thank you so much Francine and Theody...following you back now :)
