During the cooler months of the year, I seem to get a lot more accomplished inside my house and on my computer. Now that the weather is nicer, I find myself wanting to spend a lot more time outdoors, and as as result, I have really fallen behind in my "normal" routine. As a matter of fact, today is the first day since May that I have sat down at my computer and really accomplished anythuing to speak of.
My question to all of you is, do you have this same sort of problem?

During the winter it is cold so I like to be indoors doing housework and sorting out paperwork. In the hot summer I enjoy spending time outside and can ignore things that need to be done at home. Gardening is an exception because that is pleasant to do on a warm day. Sadly it was cool last summer and this summer it is cool and rainy. Today has been non-stop rain. I went out but it was tiresome with keeping the rain cover over my toddler son. My shoes got soaked in a puddle. If the weather was sunny and warm I would be outside doing some gardening.

Yeah, I spend a bit more time outdoors now. It's mostly just to play basketball, and to perfect my shot. If you've seen me lack of accuracy, and how quickly I tire out when shooting, you'd think I'd be out there all day as an attempt to reach perfection. That's not the case though. I try to play for about an hour a day.
That's really the only thing I don't like about winter. It's so cold, I don't even feel like getting out of bed, let alone going outside to do anything. I usually only go out during the cold months to chop fire wood. After that, my back is in no condition to do layups, or dunk. Heck, I can't get enough lift right now for a duck! I should probably go outside and do a few squat thrusts to improve my vertical. lol.

I spend most of the time indoor though we have good weather here. That's because, I'm working in office from 9am to 6pm, 6 days a week. I only get a day off on Sunday. If I think again the time I spend outdoor is very less. But I make sure I cover my six days outdoor activities on Sunday.
Catching up with gardening, car wash and many other outdoor duties! Yes, thinking about it now made me miss how much I love my schooling days! Being on the field playing hockey, netball and volleyball. I miss those days!

I do spend a lot of time outdoors now. We've had a few really hot days in the 90's but the evenings are cool and breezy here in Ohio. My dogs especially enjoy being outside. Cookie isn't inside much and even Gus will leave my side (he's like my shadow) and go out and enjoy lying in the grass or chasing bugs. I love to sit outside under the tree in the shade and do puzzles or watch the lovely clouds!

I live in south Florida so my seasons are the opposite. I enjoy spending time outdoors during the winter months when the weather is a little bit cooler than it is right now. In the winter we regularly have days that are in the low 80s while, in the summer, we regularly have days that are in the high 90s.

Yes, the wearther is going nicer now. Generally it would be better to have a rest for 5-10minutes per hour for surfing on the net, you can see the scenery outside, or sit quietly to close eyes for a moment, can move slightly(always siting on the seat is not good), it dependes on your body, guarantee the sufficient sleep and sports is the foundation of working and studying
