Nellie’s approach sounds helpful, cutting out non-essentials as much as you can and choosing a focus for the day. It’s pretty hard for me to do that, I always want to add in stuff. It helps to have someone to keep you on track – I’ll rattle off a to-do list for the day to my husband and he’s the one that will say “we can’t get all of that done in one day”. He’s also the one that will remind me that I’ve just added something ELSE to the list, that I forgot we planned on doing something different. My mind always wants to fill in the gaps, to add something else from my massive to-do list rather than just enjoying a gap.

Maybe you need a break from everyone else – like taking a vacation, but take it from Facebook, card-writing, meal-prep, car and house cleaning, etc. Get out the picnic plates, like Nellie said. Live with a little bit more dirt and clutter, get take-out, etc, if only to allow yourself to just focus on a few important things temporarily. Your friends and family should understand that, if they don’t, tough luck!
