This morning, after grocery shopping and in between work assignments, I had an email from my friend Bobbi that her morning plans had been canceled. Since I was in the process of putting away groceries at the time I saw her message, I decided to give her a call and see if she felt like popping over for a visit, since it had been what seemed like forever since I’d seen her, and I know she missed me. haha Actually, I missed her, and it was great to actually sit down with her and have a face-to-face chat as opposed to sending Facebook or email messages.
During her visit, I received email from two different contractors, with work for me to do. Once she left, I got busy with the assignments and completed the goal that I set for myself today with time to spare. One of my deadlines is in two days, and the other, which is a more complex assignment in some ways is due at the end of the week, with more work from both contractors upon completion of these projects.
What I did decide, is that I’m going to have to generate some sort of list so I can keep up with what I need and when I need it, so that I don’t get consumed in work and forget about everything else. After all, I am still searching to find that balance, and I do believe that the list will help in doing just that.
I don’t want to neglect my journals, and I also don’t want to neglect my interpersonal relationships, as my friends and family mean everything to me.
So tell me, how do you find balance in your life? Right now, I think I’m doing pretty well, but I still have a few things to scratch off my ‘to-do’ list before Marcel comes home from work in a half hour.
Guess that means I’d better get busy, and in the meantime, spill the beans. How do you find and keep balance in your life without losing sanity?
