Yesterday turned into a very long day. I needed to go into work to pull samples for a project. The time that I needed to pull the samples kept changing and I ended being up for over 24 hours. That was a set back for my health. Today, I slept for about 5 hours this morning but still feel worse than I did yesterday. Still I am better than I was this time last week.
I keep planning on making up the post I missed on December 1st but life seems to get in the way. That is another reason for doing this blogging challenge. I seem to make plans without taking my crazy busy life into consideration. I think I can do things but forget that I am not as young as I used to be. Add to that health issues that I tend to dismiss, and of course obligations to family and church and I just don't seem to get the things done that I want to get done.
Some of this is procrastination. Some of this is just being tired. A lot is the simple fact that my husband makes plans and I don't want to miss out on time with him so my plans change. My husband has been working out of town a lot lately and time together is limited. So when he wants to go somewhere and or do something, I drop what I am doing and go with him.
Add to all of this, I have become a bit of a workaholic. I take pride in being the go to person. But I need to learn to delegate. I am only one person and I can't do everything myself. I have competent employees and I need to learn to use them. Somewhere, somehow I have to get a work-life balance. I just haven't quite figured out how to do that yet.
So Why did I take on a blogging challenge with everything else in my life? By documenting what is going on in my life I can analyze where I am spending time and where I can minimize my time busters. Maybe I can start prioritizing things to adjust my balance. Maybe I can figure out what I really want to do and what I don't really care about. It should at the very least prove an interesting case study.
How do you prioritize? Do you have a work life balance?
