Sometimes there's so much to do that there's no time to THINK.
But sometimes thinking is important. Sometimes a person has to figure out how she's going to tackle the task of homeschooling her children, and what methods and books and schedules and fieldtrips might serve the family best. Sometimes a person has to figure out what meals she's going to make, and where she's going to focus her nutrition-efforts and where she will make the bulk of her grocery purchases. Sometimes a person has to figure out where she's going to unpack all those moving boxes, and which items should go in which rooms and on what shelves.
But thinking takes time. We can't instantaneously figure those things out.
But when there's so much much much to DO, it's very hard to slow down and allow oneself the time to just "waste" in thinking and figuring out how next to proceed.

I think homeschooling moms are the greatest multitaskers on the planet. The mom who's finished homeschooling a passel of kids could become the CEO of a major company and think it a walk in the park compared to what she's used to....
ReplyDeleteHang in there. It will get better :)
And sometimes the thinking is complicated not only by all the things there are to do but by the never-ending "transmissions" coming from all the other "broadcasters" in the house. This is why for years now my regular wake-up time (not every morning, but more often than not) has been 5:00 a.m.--because that's really my only time to think and plan without other distractions or interruptions, and if I don't get that at the outset, I've lost the race before it's even begun.
