I definitely have to separate my time. I have found that I can't multi task when it comes to doing something with the kids and working on the computer at the same time. I just end up yelling a lot. I have found that I have to separate things. I only do email during the day and school in the morning to lunch time. The kids go to bed or have quite time in their rooms starting at 8:00. This allows me a few hours of focused time from about 8:00 to 10:30 or11:00 on the computer. Then of course whatever I can do on the weekends. I find I get more done this way. I personally can accomplish more if I focus on one task at a time. It seems like I get nothing done (although I now this isn't true) if I multi task work with something else. Don't get me wrong I do multi task house work and schooling among other things. I just TRY not to mix work with anything else. It really is a tricky, delicate balance! I hear you.
