I had great plans to get some tasks accomplished, but I was out of steam. Instead of trudging on at a slow pace to get accomplished what I could, I decided to take a nap. Just taking about an hour nap re-energized me. I awoke feeling refreshed. My two older children were busy playing an X-Box game together while the baby was still taking her nap.
With some uninterrupted time to work, I was able to get the following accomplished in about 20 minutes:
- Started dinner.
- Unloaded the dishwasher.
- Began a load of laundry.
- Reloaded the dishwasher with dishes that had been previously rinsed.
- Put away the cooled chicken broth from my split chicken breasts purchase.
- Welcomed hubby home with a clean kitchen, dinner cooking, and a rested, smiling wife.
Though pressing on and working to accomplish that To Do list is admirable, sometimes taking the time to rest will help you to recharge and accomplish more tasks in a small amount of time. For me, I chose to nap which was my best choice for using my time wisely. How about you . . . can you accomplish more after a little nap? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
