Another Wordly distraction... TV

There is something I've learned about myself lately that I thought I would share in hopes I'm not the only one! I do things in extremes. If I do something, I want to do it 100%! Initially that does not sound terrible at all. Thats a really good thing right? Not when you're like me and have a really big list of things I would like to be doing in life.
I love a clean home, I love to workout, blog, garden, cook, I'm starting to get better at sewing, I have numerous projects and ideas of what my daily routine should look like.

When I focus on one thing, I can do it really well. But then everything else starts to fall behind. As I type that I realize that's how my husband Jeremy is and I always give him a hard time for not being able to multi-task like I can! Obviously I am not the master multi-tasker I have claimed to be. Or at least that I used to be. So what's the deal? what's changed? I feel like I went from being very productive to very lazy.

I recently blogged about a wordly distraction called Facebook. It was taking over my time. So I cut it out for a little over a week and felt great about it. I slowly introduced it back in and while I could probably check it less often, I'm not updating my status near as often as I used to. It's a start.

So I looked at myself again and asked what worldly distraction has taken over now?! Why am I SO WEAK?! And the answer is T.V. We dont even have cable, I am not spending time watching DVR'd shows because we no longer have a DVR. But we have Netflix. And I somehow have found tv shows on there to watch and because it's full seasons I have the ability to watch episodes back to back to back. I want to see the full story unfold. I want to finish it all so I can move on to my next task. But then there will be another show. There's always shows. Why am I wasting time watching these characters live these pretend lives instead of living my own?!

Not only has it taken me over, but Caden is quickly being sucked in. Especially after these past few days of him being sick with a fever and just wanting to cuddle and watch Go Diego Go. There's nothing wrong with an occasional movie day but I think we have let it take over most of our days and that's just not OK.

I was giving facebook my 100% and now it's tv. So there you have it, my struggles with worldly distractions. I hope to stop letting these things take over my time and energy. I'm getting on my own nerves! Do yall have this issue too? Let me know what takes oveer your time that keeps you from being who you want to be!
