Hey guys, welcome back to the Clutter Bug Podcast. I haven't made a podcast in a while and I apologize for that.

Today I want to actually talk about productivity or being productive, which is kind of ironic because I've been going through a little

slump where I am anything but productive.

It's just a lot going on.

September is a really busy time for us.

We have three birthdays for our kids coming up.

It's back to school.

You know, and it's the change of season,

which always leaves me feeling a little blah.

I love fall so much but as the weather starts to

tune cool I think it just I can't help but feel a little bit I guess bummed

out or a little bit blah. So with all of those things combined I have not been

accomplishing as much as I should have and I wanted to talk about how especially as a stay-at-home parent I don't know if you're a stay-at-home parent. I don't know if you're a stay-at-home parent, but I work

from home, I am staying at home, I don't have a boss, I have nobody to be accountable to, I have no

deadlines in my life except for the things that are self-imposed,

it's very hard to self-motivate when you have nobody to be accountable to.

Except yourself.

I mean if I want to lay in bed and watch Netflix all day it's

completely fine you know I'm not going to get in trouble I'm not going to be

fired the only person that I have to you know be accountable to is myself and that's really difficult I am not a person who has

a lot of self-control I'll eat an entire bag of cookies I'll you know I'll stay up

way too late and then I'll sleep in when I should be getting up.
