I go right back to my old self. I take like 25mins in a Walgreens nail polish aisle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-efficient-after-having-a-baby#post-590232 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 15:17:59 +0000 PrincessBaby 590232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I was the same way! LAZY! Now it's just not an option so I don't even flinch at basically never stopping! I play on the ipad while nursing but I'm constantly being very un-lazy! Your LO will definitely light that fire:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-efficient-after-having-a-baby#post-590228 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 15:13:47 +0000 BSB 590228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: I am so lazy now (pre-baby). Lol! It's noon and I'm still in bed. I don't get nearly as much stuff done on the weekends as I hope to. </p> <p>When I get pregnant or have a child, I'm hoping to light that fire and get more active. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-efficient-after-having-a-baby#post-590222 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 15:10:47 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 590222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: this times10,0000!!! I had no idea I could get ready in 15 minutes. </p> <p>I so used to be that girl that got up at 5am to do her hair and makeup. Psh! I COULD HAVE BEEN SLEEPING!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-efficient-after-having-a-baby#post-590215 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 15:06:01 +0000 rawrasaur 590215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was efficient before, now I just feel like I rush too much and sometimes do a sloppy job which I have to re-do. Even just shopping I forget to put things on the list because I can't stop what I am doing with baby, then I remind myself the entire way to the store about it because it isn't on my list, then I get home and realize I forgot to get it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-efficient-after-having-a-baby#post-590189 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 14:44:31 +0000 jetsettermomma 590189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! When I am not with baby, I am super efficient because I know I don't have the luxury of taking my time. However, at home, since there are more things to take care of now and trying to get things done while he naps, I feel less efficient in the sense that I can't finish everything I want to do all at once. I'm happy with the balance I've found in 5 months, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-efficient-after-having-a-baby#post-589114 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 15:03:21 +0000 BananaPancakes 589114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I feel less efficient. I used to be the queen at multi taking and could get so much done in a small amount of time. Now, I lose track of what I'm doing and where I'm at, that everything takes longer. I need to stop trying to multi task, and I think it would resolve a lot of problems. And if I drop the kid off to get things done, I take way longer, just because I can. I feel frazzled all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-efficient-after-having-a-baby#post-589089 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 14:37:27 +0000 plantains 589089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, everything takes so much less time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-efficient-after-having-a-baby#post-589087 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 14:35:10 +0000 PrincessBaby 589087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: Oh yes!!!! It used to take me over an hour to get ready! Now it's like 30 mins! And I can multitask by putting makeup on while I BF!</p> <p>@artbee: So true! Because it HAS to be done now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-efficient-after-having-a-baby#post-589080 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 14:29:42 +0000 heffalump 589080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So much. It used to take me a whole day to get a load of laundry done. Now in a day I get four or five loads done and folded. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-efficient-after-having-a-baby#post-589074 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 14:26:12 +0000 pl0508 589074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>100 percent. I had no idea I could shower and dry my hair or get ready so quickly ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-more-efficient-after-having-a-baby#post-589044 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 14:07:29 +0000 PrincessBaby 589044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today was my Nanny Orientation, and I left for about an hour to allow them some time alone together. I mailed a package, got groceries at Target, bought green teas at Starbucks for the Nanny and myself, and then picked up lunch for us, and returned to my home in 1 hour. I don't know how I blew all my time before I had H, but that list of activities sounds like a good 2 hour excursion pre-baby. </p> <p>I think I'm so used to rushing to get errands done when she's with me so we can hurry up and be home in case she gets fussy/hungry....Pre-baby I think I squandered time wandering aimlessly through Target ,etc, like I had all the time in the world. I'd spend 10 minutes picking out a bottle of wine! Now, it's like, grab the first decent familiar thing I see and run!</p> <p>Do you feel like you're more efficient now that you have a LO? </p>
