How Much "Me Time" Do You Give Yourself?

I'm sure everyone has had those days were there is so much going on that your mind is racing 1,000 miles per hour and you have no idea when the craziness is going to stop. Exams are approaching for me as well as many project deadlines and so at points I get so overwhelmed I know I need to step away from what I am doing and just take that breathing room. How much time do you give yourself though? I know a big issue I've had is I'll say 15 minutes and then I'm surfing through the TV watching a marathon or a movie and so much time has gone by I get more stressed over that. So for the fellow mylotters out there - for your me time what activities do you do and how do you get yourself back on task without procrastinating way too much?

Hi, I hope your studying is going well and your "Me time" is helping!! My life consists of working 6 days out of 10 on a shift pattern, 2 kids (1 & 11), school run, dancing run, looking after the husband, cleaning the house, walking the dog, shopping, maintaining my website & 50 million other things, so my "Me time" is very limitied if I get any!! I can't even use the bathroom without someone talking to me through the door!! For things like exams, "Me time" is necessary to make sure you don't over do it!! Good luck with your exams & I hope you get the results your after Mrsl x

Thank you a lot. I look and see what you have to go through and it seems as if some of the things that are bothering me aren't as supportive. But in today's society most moms are becoming super moms taking on so many responsibilities and having to be the best at all of them. I completely commend you for being able to handle that. I know at this moment I would not be able to handle all that on my plate.
