It would be so nice to have a little schedule-fairy to sit on my shoulder.
For real, it doesn’t even have to be a fairy… A talking squirrel would do just fine. I need a little creature to keep me on task and remind me to FOCUS when I get distracted!
You will have to forgive me, as this post has practically NOTHING to do with photography! However, I am who I am, and this is me in real life. It doesn’t get any more real than this, people! Given this is totally off-topic, you are hereby excused from reading any further! lol
This past weekend I have been obsessing over my (practically non-existent) daily agenda. There are so many things that I need to get accomplished and so many things that I want to do… not going to lie, it is overwhelming.
Although I am great at meeting my deadlines and following schedules that relate to my business, my personal goals and plans are a different thing all together. I have been finding it hard to balance business/family/pleasure.
My guess is that this is an age-old dilemma. Time – it is what it is! You can’t stop it or delay it, you can’t rewind and have a do-over… it is what it is!
I think the key must be balance.
But where do I start to find my balance? How do you filter the real priorities from the self-imposed ones? Balance…
I assume that to start – I need to figure out what things are most important to me….
- I need to work into my daily schedule: Bible reading & devotions, exercise, house work (including making healthier meals!), piano/violin practice, walking the dogs, journaling, and all the things that go along with Evoke Images work. (whew!)
- Things I need to work in to my weekly schedule: Date night, letter writing and correspondence, volunteering at the nursing home (something I have wanted to do for soooo long!), and spending time with my siblings and nieces & nephew.
Balance is difficult. *sigh*
I WILL find it though. I have to! My goal is to live a life of purpose, and in order to keep pursuing the purpose in my life there must be defining lines drawn and boundaries set. Any tips or advice about implementing a solid daily schedule into my life would be greatly loved… I might even kiss you.
In other news….
I have once again fallen into addiction to push-pops! Not those orange Flinstone ones that they’ve had for years…. the ones in the plastic tubes! (You know, the popsicles that give you the little cuts on the corners of your mouth?) I still won’t eat the grape, but I can’t get enough green and red!
Yeah, I love them again. Plastic cuts on the sides of my mouth and all.
Maybe it’s the summer…
