Lately, the craziness of my life has been turning my days into long periods of production, just to wake up the next day and find that I have just as much, if not more, to do than the last. This business is turning into a routine...making me feel as alive, but also as exhausted as ever. There are some things that may seem unnecessary considering the list I am trying to complete each day, but they are necessary for me in order to produce good work and be satisfied with my life. Staying clean and healthy are the most important things to me. I always make time to bathe, eat, and I try to do yoga, cardio, or weight training 4-5 times per week. I also love to keep up with my favorite shows, and I usually manage at least five hours of rest each night.
I start each day by getting my life on its track—this means checking emails and text messages to make sure I am up to date on everything people have sent and want me to see, going over my calendar and day planner to set up a mental plan for the day, and getting my morning cup of coffee and some sort of nutritious breakfast. Then, once I am comfortable with the course I'm on, I allow myself to incorporate more things of interest to fill the time. I am constantly adding priorities, acquiring hobbies, and stretching my
capability while praying that everything will get done in the time I
have each day. When time is of utmost demand, however, I must be extra careful to not lose sight of my priorities. Sometimes, I feel like I have to sprint through things that I should be walking through in order to enjoy the experience and take it all in. [I want to read the book, but I need about 5 hours to read it the way I want to and I just don't know where to find 5 hours right now.] I have learned to multitask and combine the things I want to do, such as spending my time on the elliptical reading books for pleasure on my Nook and jamming out to my recent music downloads.
I look forward to a day when I can focus my attention on one thing fully, commit myself to it, and make something amazing. For now, I will continue to accomplish as much as I can, knowing that I did the best I could.
Just got to get over the hump of each day...Friday is always the prize!
