Idm/Ldm, I have a problem with this, too. I work a full-time job at a nursing home and a part-time job out of my home. So, really I only have Sundays to call my own. What I try to do with my home business is set up a schedule similar to what I have at my other job: work from this time to this time, take a break, work from this time to this time, lunch, etcetera. As for the housework, bills and that sort of thing, I have to work out a time plan for those things in my day as well. It's an adjustment, but it does help to relieve the stress and anxiety. Clutter, things left undone and the like really cause me problems.
Hope this helps.
Does good time management help recovery?
Learn how to bring order back into your life by making reasonable action plans, stop over-scheduling, and become comfortable with asking for help when you need it.
