"This is on top of all the actual necessities and responsibilities of life and running a small business. I feel rushed and frenzied most of the time. It always feels like I’m leaving something out or letting someone down. I’m constantly watching the clock, wondering how to fit everything into a 24 hour day.
"This is on top of all the actual necessities and responsibilities of life and running a small business. I feel rushed and frenzied most of the time. It always feels like I’m leaving something out or letting someone down. I’m constantly watching the clock, wondering how to fit everything into a 24 hour day.
The result is that I spend more of my life than I’d like to admit not being fully present. I’m anxious about how little time I have, as I make long to-do lists that never get completed, multitask through everything, and allow my days to blend into one another."
Although I've been reading along since you've started Making Time, I tend to be really quiet online and haven't commented, but the quote above resonated with me so deeply. This is how I've felt all year due to similar demands and while it's definitely not how I want to continue to live my life, all of it feels so mandatory that it's hard to know where to start about changing things. I'm really looking forward to reading about your approaches, Sarai and I hope it helps bring about the changes you want to see. I've been grateful for all the interesting and enjoyable things you've shared here this year so thank you and Happy New Year.
Tiffany, thank you so much for sharing. I hope we both find some new, more adaptive ways to engage with the crush of life this year! I’m rooting for you too.
