[quote=Anonymous]I don't relax at the end of the day. I pick up the kids, make dinner, clean up dinner while they play, nighttime things (bath, books, etc.) until they go to bed, clean, make and eat dinner myself, open the laptop again to work until I go to bed after midnight, get up at 5am to rinse and repeat. Since that is not the routine for you, here's what I suggest. Start with 15 minutes. Once the kids go to bed, if they are young, don't sit down on the couch. Pick one area of the house, e.g., kitchen, mud room, living room, etc., and tidy up/clean that area for 15 minutes. If you do that every day, it will help. You can gradually add time once it is part of your routine, but the key is not relaxing for a period and then telling yourself you'll do it later since you won't. Anyone can do anything for 15 minutes. If your kids are older and don't need so much supervision, do it while they are up.[/quote]
