There are certain chores that get put off because they just seem too big to get done in a little bite of your day. It's easy to view "clean the kitchen," for example, as a monumental roadblock, but you don't have to do everything in one go and even 20-30 minutes can make a big difference.
Next time you're feeling daunted just say "Okay, 20 minute burst", put on some good music, set the kitchen timer and make a little progress. You'll be amazed at your ability to carve a few bursts out of your day when you'd never believe you had a spare hour to spend making things nicer.

oh such good advice. I think I can use this one for energy shortage as well as time shortage.
