One recently improved part of my life is… using little moments to do little tasks. Like when I am sitting on the bus, I respond to messages from friends. These are often friends who live in other countries and having ongoing dialogue with them matters to me. I also write my blog nearly every day. Or I brainstorm for the blog. I have read some emails, scheduled things, tossed in laundry, read documents, or just ensured I responded to something. My clothes get cleaner more often.
This has helped me function a lot. Mostly because little things don´t stack up so much. Things get taken care of and I do not need to designate time for them later. Then, I can use my real free time to be quiet and not do things I would rather not think about.
