I need to try one of the timers. I know I waste a lot of time during the day.

One thing I’m trying to do right now (because some of us who work from home have a habit of setting things somewhere to put away or take care of “later” but have an innate ability to overlook those piles at the end of the work day): Each time I get up from the computer, I’ll try to clear up one tiny thing. During my last break I blocked the baby blanket I finished knitting last night (<5 min), bagged & marked the leftover yarn so I'll know what it is later (<1 min), transferred the box all of that had been in to the shredder so I can fill it with the cross-cut bits of paper the next time I shred papers (<1 min). Normally I'd wait to do that on a weekend….which is already booked with cleaning, chores, Thanksgiving prep, and year-end yard work.

I'm hoping it will develop into a positive time management habit.
