So I am a horrible multitasker. Okay, I should say, I used to be a horrible multitasker. Since I’ve had kids (4 in 3 pregnancies in 4 years) my brain just doesn’t quite work like it used to. BUT, I still want to do as many things as I possibly can at the same time.
I want to check my email while I listen to Alex’s latest Angry Birds monologue.
I want to wash dishes while chatting with my husband about my day.
I want to write and keep up to date on Facebook.
I want to live my way and live biblically.
I want to mother my kids and get the chores done and have time to myself.
At.the.same.time.
And I can’t do it. I just can’t. And honestly, I’m not sure I really want to. Okay, I do want to keep checking Facebook and email religiously. And I want time to write. And time to myself. And time for my kids. And time for my beyond-fabulous husband. I do want to do it all. But I want to stop pretending that I can do it all at once.
So this month, I’m going to think about and write about and live about “One Thing at a Time.” Maybe it’ll be one book that you should read. Maybe one thing I learned today. Maybe a spotlight on one of my kids or one thing I wish I knew how to do or one thing about God that blows me out of the water.
But that’s what I’m going to do (try to do) every day this month. One Thing at a Time. And at the end of the 31 days, that’ll be 31 things. Not all at the same time. But all completed.
I’m kind of excited to see where I go. Hope you enjoy coming along with me, too!
