B1P Day 49: Kids Up Early

My writing time (or coaching time, or pretty much the only time during the day that I reliably have that I can use as I wish without being under pressure, observation, or demand from someone else) is from when I wake up until about 7:00 am, when either I have to get ready for work, or the kids are getting up.

Except when one of them gets up before 6:30.

Today, I barely got anything done and, while I captured back some time later in the day, after several hours of child wrangling, I am already exhausted and practically worthless for anything creative. It really is morning or bust for me.

Fortunately, I’m in the proofreading step of a coaching task now, which doesn’t required much in the way of creativity, but even so, progress is a slog and a half.

Better luck tomorrow, I hope.

Take part in the journey!
