But I do sometimes feel like I'm not getting enough unstructured time to myself. When that happens, I usually pick a week day and take a half day. Most times I've done this, I've still had to pick up a kid in the vicinity of work, so I'll go to a nearby mall, have lunch on my own with a couple of margaritas, and spend the afternoon reading in one of their nice outdoor chairs. Now that my kids will both be at school in our neighborhood, I could see taking a half day at home- but only if I could resist the chores that always need doing.<br /><br />So I guess the answer is that I don't have a structured way of handling this, I just try to recognize that frustrated, overwhelmed feeling I get when I have too many responsibilities, and try to give myself some time off from them.Cloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317847285050447789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-47085885002527408072015-08-30T08:34:07.311-07:002015-08-30T08:34:07.311-07:00Working a limited number of hours in a week and ha...Working a limited number of hours in a week and having scheduled days off is so important. I've been stuck working weekends lately (there are time-sensitive things that need doing) and having to book time off during the week - and the extra overhead of having to select my days off, having them not interfere with other meetings or things going on, then having to inform people about these days off...it is immense. Really looking forward to the end of this particular set of experiments!<br /><br />The thing I'm wondering about, and I'd love your opinion on, is how much your work-hours limit gets affected by the other "work" happening in your life. Even if you limit your work hours, you then go home and spend more time working at being a parent, doing basic stuff around the house, and then when you add in volunteer commitments...it gets really hard to limit the total number of hours spent doing things that feel like "work".
