I am away from home a large percentage of the year (115 nights so far this year). I am very used to running through airports, changing hotels, dragging luggage around, standing in convention centers for 12-14 hours at a time, and other necessitites of the traveling life.
When I am at home, though, I love to be at home. I nearly have to be dragged out of the house for errands and appointments and resist even putting on shoes. Appointments and errands are necessary, though, and I try to get them done as quickly as possible so that I can get home and back to quilting!
I keep an "Errands" folder:
Every time I think of something that I need to do, I file it in my errands folder. I also file coupons, shopping lists, and any other necessary papers. While I am out, I will check my errands folder and try to knock off as many of them as I can.
Today I have to run to UPS to ship a box of kits to Houston Quilt Festival. While I am out, I will go to the Post Office to mail some paperwork to a future show and hopefully score some Rudolph stamps. I will pick up bagels. Mmmmmmmmmm. I will also go to the bank and library. Hopefully I will only be away from my studio for two hours and won't have to run errands again for several days.
