I just thought I'd throw this out to see how you guys handle life's daily routines. I struggle so much with actually getting things accomplished. It's like I'm so scatterbrained . . . I know that with ocd, if I don't get enough sleep, it tends to be worse. I am not a morning person, possibly because I'm up and down so much at night, but I usually try to have my prayer time after sending my son off to school. It's like if I don't do it in the morning, then I don't do it. Yes, I pray at different points during the day, but I feel very guilty if I don't sit down and have what I would actually call "prayer time". I've posted before that I don't want to do things out of fear and guilt, but I often do. When I'm praying, my thoughts wonder off in so many directions of things I need to do. It's like I'm always behind in housecleaning, spending time with my family and God, etc. When I spend some of my morning in prayer, and then getting ready, and then going to my part-time job, and then picking my son up after school, then trying to fix dinner and clean up, then tackling the mega pile of laundry, etc., it's just like I'm so unorganized! I've been sick for quite a while lately, and cleaning products really aggravate the problems I've been having. Things have gotten so piled up that I don't know where to start. When I start in one area, others are neglected and that one thing I accomplished, like cleaning the kitchen will need it again right after the next meal. I can start one project, then see something else that needs to be done and start on it, then not have anything ready for dinner when my husband gets home, yet feel as if I've been doing things all day long. I know that I do better when I concentrate on one thing at a time, but it seems to take me so very long to finish something, and then things get piled up in every area and there's just not enough time to do it all. I'm repeating myself I know, but it often feels overwhelming. I feel guilty for even taking the time to read and post on this site. And there's always guilt underneath if I've not started my day with prayer, trying to put God first. I know my husband gets frustrated, coming in and dinner not even being started often, trying to get his clothes ready for work the next day and having to wash them because he doesn't have work clothes clean, and the list goes on and on. But, it's like life can be so disconnected and choppy, if that makes sense. I have a very difficult time. I tend to give all my attention to one area, or if I try to do several things at once, it seems to all be too much. Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks,
