FMF: Focus

here we go for Five Minute Friday. Today's word is Focus.

Focus. Sometimes you have it, sometimes you don't. My craft area and kitchen counters are proof positive that I often don't. The fact that I already tried to write this post yesterday is also proof that I often don't. Of course, it didn't help that the TV was on last night.
Tonight's a bit different. Kids and Hubs are in bed, and the TV is off. There's not much to distract me tonight. 
I get distracted so easily. And yet, really cool things happen when I am focused. Like the crafts I have done that turn out really cool. Or having a clean kitchen, it's so nice. 
I haven't yet figured out the secret formula that works for me to keep me focused. I've tried lots of time management ideas.....none really work, or not for long. Inevitably there's a new book to read and that's the end of all my good intentions. But, I keep trying and someday maybe I will light on something that works. Like a maid. Ha ha ha, I guess that only works for the kitchen.....I'm on my own with getting my crafts done. It's one of the main reasons (friendship time being the other), that I've started having craft days. They help me focus. On both crafts and house, actually, because who likes entertaining in a dirty house? I sure don't.
