After many months (years?) of trial and error, I’ve finally worked out a consistent schedule that’s working well for me. Transitioning from an office setting to a work-at-home lifestyle has been an utter dream, yet balancing it all has been…tricky. Right now I’m alternating nights of 4-hour sleep and 9-hour sleep (give or take a toddler’s wake-up call) and it seems to balance out. I also have a solid 6-hour chunk of working hours three days a week, with specific time scheduled in for chores. So fingers crossed! I’ve already been more productive and organized than I’ve been in a long time. (And being a by-the-books Virgo, that’s basically everything.)
Next step: Scheduling in some exercise. Baby steps.
Have a relaxing weekend, everyone!

I love all your posts on Babble!
And congrats on nailing down a schedule that’s working for you! I’m really trying to be more organized and set up a working schedule because this working at home thing is tricky. I’ll have to try your 4-hour/9-hour sleep thing.

Thank you Nicole! I’m a BIG fan of your Web site!
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I work while my son is at school (8:30 a.m. – 2:45 p.m.), and then I work after he goes to sleep (9 p.m. – 2 a.m.). On Tuesdays and Thursdays I work while he naps (1 – 3-ish), and then I get into bed as soon as I can. And then I devote my weekends to family!
