Sometimes I just have too much going on. Too many hobbies. To much work. To many things to do at home. But the reality is I bring on all these things on myself. I want to do them, (read, design, run) and I love the people I have met by doing them (you all know who you are). And some days I don't even know how I get it all done.
This week I've been crazy busy at work, hip hopped, ran, biked, on staff with running club (which I got up in front of every one to do our "affirmations"- very scary for me. Don't like speaking in front of people.) made cards, put layouts together, shopped for running shoes, visited a friend in the hospital, volunteered, saw my parents, drove two days back and forth to Milwaukee. And then I wonder why I feel "rushed" and tired. I need to "slow down" and be specific in my projects.
I've just signed up for a 8 weeks scrapbook course (yeah - I know. I complain I'm busy and sign up for yet another class.) This one is finding you authentic scrapbooking voice. What makes your pages you. What products are you drawn to, what is your style, how do you design. And the base of this class is a make a layout every day for 30 days being March 1st.
OMG- can I do this? I know I CAN. Can I make the time to do this? I can if I drop something else. But what, I'm not sure yet.
First answer would be work... but we need that one. There's reality.
Cards, they are selling so well right now, there is no stopping. Exercise - nope. That's a big no. I'm liking how things are going right now.
So I'll get up early and go long with the day. Despite the fact they are busy. I'll make it work with pre-planned kits. Focusing on getting things done. Working out at lunch time. Making to do lists, etc.
I know there are people out there with MUCH busier schedules then mine. And they may thrive on it - but not me. Right now, a little bit of down time would be nice.
