Turn your computer screen into an exciting digital countdown with Egg Timer You can use it to get tasks you've been putting off, done by setting aside a designated amount of time, and breaking big chores into small time slots. For example, set the timer for 5 minutes and clean out a drawer or sift through that pile of papers.

Decide what you would like to do for your day! Then tell your family and make all other commitments secondary! By doing this you will help your family out, you will still make time to see your Mom and your husband's Mom (it just might not be on the 9th!) and you probably will not feel disappointed!! I am going to a movie and any one who wants to can come!!!

The best hint I was ever given was to pretend you can't do anything!!!! That way people will stop asking you to do stuff!!!! The second anyone finds out you have the slightest talent for anything they will try to suck it out of you!!!! O.K. that may have been a little harsh!
