Lately, I feel so lazy in using my time wisely. I just come from a month vacation and when I come back as if I don't know how to manage my time. The reason is, I don't where to start with all my work at home left undone when I left. I feel like i just want to sit down with my computer all day watching what I want to watch online. I feel so tired and lazy looking at the work undone in the house. What you usually do to manage your time when you feel like what I feel now?

First, list all the things you need to do in the morning. Second, mark everything on the list with time. Then, just do it without hesitation

First of all, you relexed back from your a month vacation, and you didn't require you should do something, the only pleasure was how to be happy. However when you back to you normal life, you should work, so the first thing you should regulate your time correctly. Sometimes, I felt I was so lazy, don't like to work, don't want to do housework, washing, rub my floor etc daily work, at last, I realized I must live a regulation life, normal work and fun. Then i finished what I should finish everyday, step by step, I awaked from my lazy life. Cheer!

Hi Bebs! Glad to see you back! I understand what you feel. I think that is common to all those who took long vacation. I also feel that way after. It's as if the world is on my back. Seeing all the chores left undone at home and in office as well really makes me tired. After the leisure and the fun, it is so hard to be back into our normal feet. Well just take your time. Don't you push yourself. You are luckier for your have all the time in this world anyway, unlike me who has to report to my job whether I like it or not and it is really quite hard. In your case, those household chores can be done little by little. Just take your own sweet time in working on them without really pushing yourself. Do them little by little friend and later without you knowing it, you will see them DONE. In my case, the first day of going to work after a long vacation is a tough one. It is so hard to rise from bed early and so hard to think that I am back to reality (ha!ha!ha!). If only life means having vacation here and there. But it is not that way so that whenever I feel lazy to start my usual routine, I just have to encourage my own self. As I sit on my desk and would see the many paper works, I would just ask God to help me manage and to give me the energy to work on them. At any rate the lazy feeling is only for a day. On day two, it would be easier till every thing turns okay.

Oh well, thanks for the encouragement. I maybe able to get back to my feet in a few days. hehehe. By now, I am still adjusting the time, like during the day I feel sleepy and at night I am wide awake? just wondering why the effect of Philippine time is still bugging me. Hehehe I can't stay long in bed at night unlike before when I was here. But anyway, this feeling might return in a few days.

Hey Bebs! I'm sure you are just feeling overwhelmed from your long time away from home! A month is a very long time to be away, especially in another country! Just give yourself some time and you will get yourself back on your schedule again! I don't even go away for half that long and when I get back it takes me awhile to get back into my routine (and I barely even have one to begin with)!lol

i dont have work and i dont have much work at home so most of the time i only sleep or be busy here online doing some money making job. i handle my own time and as long as i didnt skip my meals on time then its already enough for me, beside im just a home based person so time management didnt affect me at all. i dont think doing nothing while at home is such lazy as its our time to relax and rest if we are too busy from work though if theres no reason for you to just stay at home than look for job then perhaps they will really call you lazy, but for me i have an excuse coz im pregnant and i cant find job in my condition.

hahaha that's the difference!! you are exempted in this area because you are pregnant while I am not. I can do a lot of things in the house if I wanted to but I feel lazy this time. I am just siting in front of my computer watching you tube which I don't like to think about it.

I have been feeling lazy for the past year and have wanted to spend more time wisely. I have tried going out for a week or two to spend it with friends, I had fun but something is still missing. I guess a part of me misses managing my time with my son, work and hubby. So now I am planning to jot down what needs to be done and what I can do to accomplish it.

I felt like that when returned from my holidays.I normally take my dog out for a walk.During vacation i requested someone to do it for me,after returning i was reluctant to restart all my activities.Initially i forced myself and after a couple of weeks came back into my groove.

I hope I will feel that way too that after a week I would be able to manage my time wisely and can finish what I have to finish in the house.
