How the first 30 minutes can transform your entire day

October 6, 2017 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that I lean more toward being a night owl. In fact, I’ve spent years convinced that I should wait for my late night second wind to get my best work done.  Hence I’ve spent a few decades working and studying while the house sleeps, often awake into the wee hours of the […]

How to cope when you’re running out of time

July 29, 2016 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

I felt pretty crappy this morning.  It’s Friday and I felt like I was running out of time. I still had a loooong list of things I hadn’t got done this week. I also had my comparison goggles on, looking at all the things other people were doing and I’m not.  The chatter was ugly and I was […]

How this sneaky habit is robbing you of precious energy

October 9, 2015 By Karen Main 2 Comments

It all sounded enticing, but I knew I had a lot on that week and I wanted an early night. I didn’t answer. I put it aside. I’ll come back to it. A text message, brunch.  I’d love to. Sounds great.  Is that too indulgent?  Guilt! I’ll see how much work I get done. I’ll reply later. The […]

Why doing nothing is not a waste of time.

July 31, 2015 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

Would you fill this time with activities?  Plan to get lots of stuff done not wanting to ‘waste’ a precious second? Would you do ‘nothing’?   Spending the time being present, […]

Time Freedom

Like an invisible rope Tugging me to my feet Pulling, pulling, forever pulling Sitting down an impossible feat Sorry kids I am busy Oh I want to sit down To smile when you want me Embrace you and not frown Endless time close together Snuggled on the couch Lost in in your stories My words kind and not ouch This […]

Where did that time go?

June 2, 2014 By Karen Main 10 Comments

Time quote

I glanced at the clock, 10 minutes to go.  Lunches made, bags packed, kids dressed, tick, tick, tick.  I flicked the switch on the kettle for the fifth time that morning, determined to have that cuppa before leaving the house.  The announcement was made, “Mummy is having her tea, please get your shoes on and […]

When does the time come, for us to have fun?

stephen covey quote

How can it be, I am busy all day? So much still to do, No time left for play. There was this, Then there was that. Another frantic work day, In actual fact. I was in the car, Then out the door. Back home again To mop the floor. Off to school now, then straight back home. A […]
