When my daughter was a baby and I was on maternity leave from my corporate job, I always felt like I needed to use her naptime to clean up the house, fold clothes, cook, or do something else I'd find impossible to do while holding her.
Now that she's a toddler, I try to use the time to get work done. Inevitably, though, some of the other stuff creeps in. I put away a plate from lunch and start straightening up the kitchen. Or, I think I'll just take a moment to read the news and end up wanting to catch up on my favorite technology or marketing blogs.
It's a never-ending battle.

I have a really hard time staying motivated during naptime too. I have a babysitter in the morning, and then when she leaves the kids take a nap soon after. It should be the perfect opportunity to get more work done.
But unless I'm on deadline, I usually end up eating lunch, cleaning up, and then doing fun things online instead of working. I guess I justify it since I'm not paying anyone!
Heh. Heh. Hi Allison! I'm definitely more productive in the morning too. Glad to know I'm not alone!
