I had really high hopes for the week. They didn’t pan out. I did get started. I did get the ball rolling. I did complete some of the tasks required, but overall I was underproductive and left a lot of opportunity on the table. Most of my energy went in a very good direction, and I am insanely proud of having made a step forward with the Lady Talis. On the other side of the life-work balance… nope.
The key to maintaining life-work balance is having success in both. It does not have to be huge but it cannot be push pull. You cannot allow yourself to sacrifice either. I pulled back on the working this week. It had nothing to do with life. It was just me feeling a bit overwhelmed in general with the work and stressed over little shifts within the home environment. This destabilization vexed me all week and now I need to work twice as hard to get halfway caught up.
I will not let another week go by like this. I need to lock in on many levels.
