I'm attempting at starting a business without putting my kids in childcare so I can't really use naps for that at the moment :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-you-feel-productive#post-2695203 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 21:43:01 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2695203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Greentea: I wouldn't say I get downtime, it's just more that I feel like I have nothing to show for my day when those things don't get done. Which is funny because if those things do t get done, it's usually because our day has been extra extra busy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-you-feel-productive#post-2695199 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 21:40:34 +0000 autumnleaves 2695199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cleaning<br /> Exercising<br /> Cooking - the days I get a lot of meal prep done are awesome </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-you-feel-productive#post-2695063 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 20:03:06 +0000 Greentea 2695063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Huh. I would love NOT to feel productive. I have a baby and a 3yo and I am constantly cooking, cleaning, feeding, wiping butts. I don't have a moment of unproductive :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-you-feel-productive#post-2695058 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 19:59:27 +0000 Silva 2695058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-Actively playing with my almost-4 year old (I'm admittedly not the best "player").</p> <p>-Baby taking good naps (bonus if one lines up with big sister's quiet time)</p> <p>-During quiet time/nap I pick up all the toys from the morning and clean up the kitchen. </p> <p>One day a couple weeks ago I had ever single piece of laundry clean and dry and folded AND put away. It will probably never happen again, but I almost cried I was so proud of myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-you-feel-productive#post-2695049 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 19:55:31 +0000 newlypregnantlady 2695049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Number one is definitely taking DD to the park, even if I do nothing else and the house is a mess I feel great about the day if she gets some time outside. I'm a SAHM in an apartment so we don't have a yard that's easy to access. Any outdoor play has to be in a park.<br /> Having a clean kitchen (including an empty trash and recycling) and bathroom.<br /> Not having small to-do's hanging over my head (laundry, dishes, groceries, etc.). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-you-feel-productive#post-2695017 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 19:43:12 +0000 skipra 2695017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Getting the kids out of the house both morning and afternoon.<br /> Having all the dishes done and put away.<br /> Laundry is done and put away, especially the cloth diapers<br /> And as a bonus - doing ANYTHING besides sitting on my butt during nap time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-you-feel-productive#post-2694993 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 19:28:21 +0000 petitenoisette 2694993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crossing things off my to-do list, especially making phone calls. </p> <p>Having a just cleaned house. </p> <p>At work, having lesson plans done more than day ahead of time :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-you-feel-productive#post-2694977 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 19:20:01 +0000 Bao 2694977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. Getting a large chunk of laundry done, folded AND put away. There is something about getting this task done that makes me feel really satisfied haha!<br /> 2. Grocery shopping with two kids in tow and not losing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-you-feel-productive#post-2694845 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 19:15:00 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2694845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are your top 3 things that, if they happened/got done that day, make you feel productive? For me I'd say:<br /> 1) taking the girls outside for at least an hour, ideally two<br /> 2) having all the breakfast and lunch dishes done before I start on dinner<br /> 3) making the bed </p>
