Time and Space are such precious commodities… it’s really easy to miss them when you realize they’re harder to come by.

I like the diaper changing analogy. I'll try to remember that.

I do get frustrated with the "box for every project" plan. It begins to feel less rewarding and more like work to have to start and stop and feel as though things take forever to get completed.

Aha! There I am with the instant (or even semi-instant) gratification problem.

Hel, carrying a notepad always is a good idea (unless you're always home like me).

Bon, I know that feeling. The trick is to just do it even when one doesn't feel like it. Like, say, changing diapers. There is no question if one should do it or not. From what I read though you have very small children and that may not be the best time to start meditating.

crazymumma, I've been thinking about the things that you think need to get done all day. What would that be?

Wonderful.

I have been trying to make space.

This morning I got up 30 minutes earlier and did some qigong.

I like the idea of making notes in betwee. I think I will start carrrying a notepad.

i think i’m with crazymumma…my obstacle is in what i think i need to do, so that my time gets all clogged up with stress.

the meditation, though…that i DO need, and have never consistently made time for. and i do not know why, but i sabotage that time, all the time.

its the clearing of the mind of all the things that I THINK need to get done.

That is my biggest obstacle.
