Time Management
Posted by VeRonda Wicks September 22nd, 2008Monday nights for Hubby and I are usually common evenings, with conversations about the week ahead and reflections of the all-too-short weekend that just flew by. It’s not until this time of year that Mondays take on a whole new meaning…

It means staying up way pass the time we should in order to watch Monday Night Football… This night will be no different as we get everything ready (All the remotes, cells, cordless telephone, snacks… all within arms’ length!) for the potential smash-mouth competition between the New York Jets and the San Diego Chargers. But, like with anything, you want to have good time management when committing to such a time stealer as football (and it is that)… so we multi task (folding clothes, cleaning during half time, a little this, a little that). We’ve even settled into the fact that, if it’s a good game and we stay up for it’s entirety, we’ll introduce ourselves to Tuesday mornings without being grumpy.
So, yes, I agree that time management is important… Especially if you’re weighing a spouse and children or other priorities. I also remind myself that we usually do exactly what we want to do and find a way to make whatever we want happen. This’ll be a great game tonight so it’s cool to be cool with your significant other tuning in… And, you can be that balance in the evening, clarifying what multitasking is all about… (Uh, be sure to wait ’til a commercial [Yes. Hence the name!] before rambling off the to dos! Hilarious!).

That’s the good thing about being on the west coast…all the games are earlier.

Wow, that’s solid time management right there, VeRonda. Kudos to you and your husband for multitasking the heck out of Monday nights during games. I thought I was the only one who even did things like that. Last season, during playoff games, the gist of what I did was vacuum my living room and move junk out of the way. During the week, it’s often that I get lazy and put things wherever, but whenever I’m watching sports, it’s easy to just get up and organize what’s lying around while the game is going on.

You’re hilarious, Troy! We know our priorities! LOL!… I’m glad to see we’re not the only ones!!
