Six Word Saturday

I Aim To Use Time Wisely

I'm grinning not even 30 secs after writing this!

Oh yes it is my aim.

Honestly it is!

And I have every intention of adhering to it

But

Already I'm on lappy typing this out when all round me are jobs that need doing...

The thought is in my mind but whether or not I can stick to it is another thing altogether!

A middle road is needed!A bit of this,blogs,twitter, and a lot of real life stuff.

So the challenge is set....let's see how I do!

Pop over to Cate at Show My Face for

  3. Oh how I relate to this! I never seem to get enough done. But I try to let go of expectations and concentrate on what matters most...it's hard sometimes not to feel guilty, but I manage way better than I probably ought to, lol.

    1. Morning Kayleigh!You also sound just like me,no matter how hard I try (and I do try hard) I never seem to get everything done,not ever!Is it never ending do you think?I think your point about concentrating on what's important is 'key' and ahem sometimes I don't do that as well as I should truth be known!Ah well *walks away whistling*

  11. Well the lads are watching football so it's definitely laptop time, soon to be followed by a glass of red. (funny how blogging creeps in to your life and then just takes over, isn't it?)
    I wholeheartedly endorse your commitment, Jess. Best of British! :)

    1. Morning Jo!When I read your comment I totally smirked because thats exactly what was happening in my house!The lads were watching football and I had a bottle of wine that a friend had brought me for my birthday and I had waited for the right moment to open it and Sat night was 'that' moment!
      Blogging has kinda whammed my life!I love it and the people I have made friends with,maybe I love it a little bit too much,insert a grin here!
      Its half term though and my aim is still to keep the blogging from intruding into my family life too much..I'm not doing to badly 'keep it up Jess she whispers to herself'
      Have a sunny bank holiday Jo x

  12. my Six: Best wishes on your vow, Jess!!!
    But plase do remember that "all work and no play do a dull boy Jack make."

    You are invited to Mrs. Jim's book club meeting, Jess. Last time cars lined up and down both sides of the street when she had it. This time, her turn again, there were only about ten to come. Needless to say we are still eating some of it.

    1. You are so right!Im just wondering if I can tame it a little or perhaps use it more wisely!Perhaps if me and time become friends life may become easier.What do you think? :-)

  14. I certainly haven't figured out how to use time wisely, its very hard to strike a balance between pleasure and tedium

    1. I wonder if 'anyone' has figured out how to use time wisely?Perhaps you have to have a disciplined approach to life,obviously I havn't got this!And if truth be told Im not sure I will ever get one!Its the way I roll!Thanks for commenting

  17. A big smile spread across my face as I read this... I aim to do the same, but must admit that most days I fail totally! I have always believed that work comes before play, but as I get older I realize that I missed too much playtime by always working, now I probably do a little more play here than I should, but I enjoy it, and that's good too! Dust bunnies can be fed (and collected up) tomorrow! :-)

    I'm delighted that you are going to join in at Two Shoes Tuesday on my blog this week, I'll be looking forward to your post!

      My post for Two Shoes Tuesday is coming on and its made me grin as I would have thought I would have naturally choose the other prompt but no I have gone for the one I first though 'nah' at.Thats exactly why I love creative writing stuff,it makes my mind play :-) I didnt even know I would like creative writing until a month ago!Funny isnt it!Lv Jess x
