Doesn't always work but gives me a greater chance of 'winning' :-)<br /><br />@ Jen (Welcome!)How funny is that... I need an afternoon alarm but it was yet to cross my mind till you've now mentioned it (how blind can we be!!)<br /><br />Phone calls - I rarely rarely answer the phone. Because of this, next to no one I'd want to talk to rings me. 9/10 times it's 'business' calls coming in. Happy for the answering machine to take those. Friends and family have learned to text, FB or email me... and I reply when *I choose* to make the time.<br />Baby moments... mama is boss here and older kids are great helpers. At the moment, my youngest is about to turn 3 but we have a new baby due this week... so that will put me to the test once again. My older 2 can change nappies, clean up gross things, change sheets and do 'room rescues' as needed... tis all in the training. My almost 3yo is a great helper and finishes each job with 'what next mum?' so the training is already rubbing off on him.<br />Anything that only I can tend to, gets added to my lists and I make time for it in the next couple of days, noting it in the diary. If I don't make a note, it doesn't get done - I am waaay too forgetful!Mrs Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10414229490828494058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704421515130295723.post-28767689048549746972011-04-25T19:11:45.253+10:002011-04-25T19:11:45.253+10:00Thanks for the tips.

I have written about my routine bubbles on my blog. It isn't always easy to keep them flowing though. <br /><br />How do you deal with side tracks? Phone calls, or baby moments? Or that particularly messy spot you hadn't seen yet caught your eye this morning and really needs attention?<br /><br />Best wishes<br />JenJen's Busy Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01556286599575103565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704421515130295723.post-66946635125543345772011-04-25T15:12:44.295+10:002011-04-25T15:12:44.295+10:00Some really good tips here Mrs B!

Does that ever happen to you or do you just change them around often to avoid that?Joyfulmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01888086629467112175noreply@blogger.com
