How do I keep sane?

Question

Remodeling a house with two weeks to trim two rooms, skim coat and paint a kitchen, fix a few places in the yard where grass has burnt up, three cars to work on, and so tired from working at home that I am falling behind at work. How do you balance it all?

Answer 1

Good luck.

I've been working for 4 months on completely gutting a house. Pretty much everything had to be replaced, so actually, 4 months is pretty good considering I have done everything myself. Now we just ordered carpet, so I have to paint trim, clean everything up, paint 4 rooms, finish drywalling a room, paint ceilings, install lighting, outlets, switches, appliances, run a gas line, and a million other things... all in three weeks so that it's done before the carpet gets here! Yikes! I know exactly how you feel, and I don't really know what to tell you, other than good luck, and if you find an easy way to balance it all, please let me know. Haha 8)

Answer 2

it sounds like you have begun with too many things, do one thing a the time completely, and then move to the next one.

I believe that you are overwhelmed by all of it ,so do things step by step, beginning with what needs to be done first and go from there.
