@Coree- even worse, my 4-year-old was particularly obsessed with the verse to “put him in a bed with the captain’s daughter” and would sing this out and about in public…

Haha, my son loves this song! The library rhyme time would do “what would you do with a sleepy baby…”

Yes, it helps. I also do less social media. Kind of ashamed to label a 2 hours time block as “facebooking”:)))

@Carla – school for our 4-year-old is only from 9-12. We figured out that trying to not pay for coverage during those 3 hours would not only delay the start of the work day (to 9:15 from 8:00/8:15) it would mean not having automatic coverage for days the school is closed/summer/sick days/etc. Also, I’d say most weeks we need something during those hours, like grocery shopping/errands/laundry/returning an errant instrument to a kid, etc. I tend to caution people about giving up full time coverage too early.

@Elisabeth – it really wasn’t that bad! Work, strength training, picking up a car, library and dealing with kid and home stuff…

My 4-year-old has also been singing the “What do you do with a drunken sailor?” song…Oh dear.

The Wellerman was the 3rd most listened-to song in our household in 2023 (thanks to Spotify Wrapped, I know lots of details about our music habits over the last year.)

@Maria – thanks for doing the challenge! Yep, I think a lot of people discover this – they have trouble labeling a 30-minute block as one particular thing. Sometimes this is the nature of what is going on (hence my “kids, etc.” entries). But sometimes it is because we are distracting ourselves. I know I sometimes will push to work to the next half hour block before stopping so I can label the block specifically as something. One way time tracking can help…
