Resolutions and The Egg Timer
Hi! My name is Kate and I am a blog-o-holic. It started out innocently enough. I was combing newspapers, linking back to studies about birth, postpartum recovery and reproductive health. I wanted to help women who might be isolated and worried and prone to postpartum depression.
Then, I started getting comments, I started participating in contests, I started making more friends and I started spending more and more time on the blog. Sure, to justify it I could always say that I was “working” as a pro-blogger. Let’s just say the income doesn’t justify that designation. Especially since I just gave a lot of it away.
Nope, what is actually a hobby has become a great big time suck and I need to get it under control.
So, that means I am going to have to set the egg timer every time I sit down and stop when it goes off. I know it isn’t going to be easy, but it is in my entire family’s best interests.

I used the egg timer today to pre-write a number of posts and was amazed at how quickly an hour went by.

Hey Kate, I would love if you could mention my new blog I just started for women suffering with PPD. I am really trying to reach out to women to tell their stories on the blog. My apologies for writing to you in your comments section but I couldn’t find an email for you. Thanks

Good luck, Kate. I have a similar problem. Karen is even worse :) For instance, I am supposed to be cleaning right now but you see what I am doing.

Yup, I’m supposed to be out getting groceries right now while Bodhi naps with his daddy. Oops!

Egg timer. Cool idea. I wish I could be quick but I sit and muse and rewrite and rewrite. I don’t think I’ll ever be that efficient.

[…] And, it has become a lot more. While I still seek to fulfill my mission, this blog is just as much about the woman who writes it as it is about reproductive health. After all, motherhood is about more than just giving birth or sharing your life with children. […]
