Moms Really Are Heros
Last week I talked to a good friend of mine about time management. Being the mom of a one year old she told me about how she looks back at life before her son and wondered what she did with all of her "free" time before. She said that keeping a routine that comes with raising a young child has been amazing for her time management. I told her she didn't give herself enough credit because it is a lot of work to keep things running smoothly and that can be taxing but she handles it like a champ.
This week is shaping up to be my "new normal." My new schedule not only includes my workout routine, work schedule, and personal obligations but it also now includes grad school. Tonight, I attempted to create my first paper on "the global economic threat that Russia poses" from the perspective of a CEO. I say attempted because it still sits open in another window as I take a break to write this entry instead.... Is my point about time management completely defunct now?
I actually enjoy the process of doing academic exercises like writing a response to an article but the last time I did this I had ample time available to dedicate my whole focus to completing an assignment. Adding my new juggling act to it is sure to test my abilities.
So far I'm not scoring well if we measure my ability to get a workout in. I worked late yesterday and genuinely didn't have time for a workout. I was working on a project that still could have used more time but I had to shut myself off around 9p because I had to be up and at work early this morning. My food choices are so important when I am in throws of projects that consume my whole attention. So far I am scoring well there but I did not make good choices over the weekend so I feel like I am not actually coming out ahead.
I am still looking forward to June ...maybe more so than ever. I am going to earn the hell out of this vacation!
