Lately i have been so confused as to what would be a good use of my time. It is so hard for me to decide how much time should go to errands and going hear and there and how much time i need to take for myself, bum around and watch tv.
My weekend is full of decisions of whether or not to get all the errands done or to relax and not worry about anything. I end up trying to divide my time in what i feel is the right amount of relaxation and the right amount of staying busy and running errands. Then Sunday night rolls arou
nd and i look back on my weekend and either feel like i wasted my whole weekend being lazy or i look back and feel like i got so much done, i am proud but feel like i never really got a chance to relax and get ready for the next week ahead full of more stress at work....IT IS A NEVER ENDING CIRCLE!! I guess i just really want to find the right balance so i dont feel like my weekends are a waste of time, i want to feel like i get enough done but took time for myself to relax. Arrggh. I just cant seem to find the right balance i need....this is just a venting on again, you dont need to comment unless you feel the exact same way!

well I've never ironed,breast-fed and shooed the cat off of the ironing board whilst I talked on the phone before but I certainly have looked back on many many days and thought that I wasted the entire day. Even worse, the days where I got lots done, I still think that I could have done more. I guess what I am coming to realize is that there is no hurry, it all will figure itself out. Maybe today I will be a bum and accept that. Maybe next time I will be a workaholic and accept that too. Life doesn't work out like might be described in a book, you have appointments, sicknesses, bad moods, friends need a hand, callings that need extra attention...it all gets so jumbled in, there's no real way to be a "balanced" person. So yah..we all agree with you!
Welll....you can do two things. Light up a big fatty....or do your chores..well you could light up a big fatty AND do your chores...then you feel you relaxed and got a bunch done!!! Well except a fatty might make you feel less inclined to do the chores. Hmmm quite the conundrum.
I know how it is. I decided not to seperate my time anymore. I get stressed trying to seperate what is good and bad.. or what is restful or getting things done. I decided to make a list of what I wanted to get done. With that list, I plan out what and when I want to do it. Then, I let myself go about getting my list done and relaxing whenever there is free time between. IT gives me a balance..and the stress of not getting things done is gone. Try it.. It really works! And you know me... I stress about everything. Just planning a list destresses me..
