As we all know, this weekend is iNSD. Things to buy (have you seen all the goodies??? ), games to play, layouts to upload, challenges and speed scraps to participate in, frogs to kiss, chats to catch up with everyone. And that is only on TLP. My mind is spinning!!

On top of that it's also the virtual Maryland Sheep and Wood Festival! I typically go to this every year (unfortunately, it always coincides with iNSD...), so with everything online I've been trying to shop for fiber goodies. Yet there's been so much traffic that the site has crashed multiple times!

I need to do gardening because it's one of the most beautiful days we've had in weeks.

And I just missed the Blue Angels flying overhead - twice! They were flying over MD, DC, VA (and maybe other places) to honor health care hero's. I did catch their trail, though. They literally flew over our neighborhood!

So, with my mind spinning, I'm off to have more fun in multiple places at one time! :ballonhang

Anyone else having multi-tasking problems, too?
 
I used to have that challenge when I was studying for my degree and DSD was in November, DSD was always smack in the middle of either study break or final exams
 
I feel constantly distracted lately and can't focus on anything... so nope... it's not just you and you sound WAY busier than I am. :giggle
 
We were talking about this yesterday. How days go by with nothing, then it seems everything is at 6pm on Thursday or squeezed in on Saturday one after another. We are not in time shape to handle that much activity.
We are turning into a chill out family
 
Definitely not just you. I can't focus at all anymore it seem. :( You would think with being quarantined at home that I would be better...but nope, I'm worse. And let's not even talk about my awful sleep schedule!!!!
 
I'm all over the place too! It's like really... squirrel!

I'm drowning with all the iNSD fun and trying to get my oldest DD packed to go back out on her mission tomorrow. She was reassigned to Alaska late last week. Totally different climate than Argentina so it's been a challenge to get all the things she needs on such short notice with everything shutdown. She leaves Tuesday morning, ready or not!

It's definitely not just you. However, I did get a lot done over the weekend. I was in the groove and just kept truckin'.
 
Yes! I get distracted by things that need to get done around the house, yard work (which I love doing this time of year - and it's endless around here), my kids (hello, there are 7 of them!), etc... What I have found that helps me is to focus on one task for an hour. Yard work - 1 hour. Scrapping/SwL work - 1 hour. Housework - hour. I'll tell my kids that I'm doing whatever for 1 hour and not to bother me unless someone is bleeding or dying. When I sit down to my computer the internet can distract me so I set a goal of what I want to finish before I check e-mail or social media. That seems to help.

Me too, Cheryl! @Cherylndesigns I tried my first ever eco dye project, planned my mom's Mother's Day gift, did a wet felting project, planted flowers, and for the first time ever, did the most challenges for iNSD, here at TLP! It was a good weekend.
I think the quarantine has messed most of us up; confusing our schedules and routines. It will change, and hopefully we will resist the rat race. That remains to be seen...

I’m the same, I think in a way no routine hasn’t helped me along with being stuck at home.
