Dear Georgia,

I always seem to have the same problem around this time of year! I can’t seem to make time for everything, what with kids, school, shopping and general work.  I need some way of making the day longer or my chores shorter. Please help me!

Dear Shirley,

So I’m not he only one short of time? I feel better already!  Now, to help you solve your problems.  You can use 2 different methods here, one non-magical and the other magical.

Non-magical.

We waste 80% of our time just thinking about what we should be doing, where we should be and when, so your first stop is to get yourself a black or white board. Put it in the kitchen or a room where the whole family can see it.  On this board you can put all dates, chores and if you like, the weekly menu.  Tell everyone that if they have events to put them on the board (this includes any amendments as they happen), so you’ll all know what you’re doing at a glance.  Try to work by weeks as going too far ahead can sometimes confuse the issue.

Magical.

You will need the following.

1 large glass of orange juice or coffee; whichever you prefer.
5 minutes to focus.
1 spoon.

Every morning we wake up and instantly think about what we won’t get done, so I want you to practice the opposite.  This is a good way to connect with the Goddess and yourself.

Get your drink of either orange juice or coffee and sit in a place where you can collect your thoughts in peace (yes, even the garden shed passes).

Ok, now we have a place, a drink and a spoon, we can get started. Hold your drink in your dominant hand and put the spoon into it. Close your eyes as you do this and start to see yourself getting your jobs done with a feeling of vigour. As your visualisation reaches its height, begin to stir your drink clockwise and recite these words:

As the clock turns round and round,
So my spirit will stay aground,
Energy focused on my chores,
Goddess guidance, evermore.

Say this as a chant and repeat it, getting faster and faster until you feel the energy growing inside you.  If you like, you can visualise the Goddess joining with you in the chant to give it extra energy. Now drink you beverage and get ready for an energy filled day!

Blessed be

Georgia
