Snow day...

Home on a snowy day and thinking of all the things I could do which is overwhelming and making me want to "run for the hills" (a.k.a. watch TV) and realizing as a productivity coach that I actually should be productive since the house is empty because school is in session (no snow day, yet)— so what do you do to keep motivated?

Well, it's a saturday night...

The kid is sleeping over at Grandma and Grandpa's house and I am cleaning house, organizing, doing laundry and even making mac n' cheese for a family dinner tomorrow night (yes, homemade) and wondering why I am not taking this time to do for myself rather than for my household (I don't count doing my laundry as self care).
