2012: realistic
I’ve written this about 4 times now so we’ll see how this will turn out. I realized in the previous drafts that I’ve lost my tolerance for stupidity and that I have a lot of built up anger towards people constantly telling me what they think I should do and that if I disagree its my views that are uneducated.
Its time to cut those people loose.
I took some time to myself (in between the kids fighting) to think about why I was always overwhelmed and exhausted. The answer turned out to be that I spread myself way too thin again and I need to stop. I have a problem saying “no” when asked to take something on and I need to start. I need to get organized if I want to get control of everything again. I don’t have time for SIDT like I wish I did. Making time to do more than working full time and being a dad is increasingly difficult so I need to write down what’s on my plate and refocus my energy. I also need to quit bringing my day job home with me.
I need to take a weekend away from the family and all the hectic things in my life and go figure out what I want to do. Not a “where do I want to be in 5 years” but more of “what needs to be done personally and professionally.” My social media presence needs a new direction, my servers and sites need consolidated/reorganized and overall I need to make time for myself. Someone in this house is working every day of the week so its very easy to feel overwhelmed.
2012 has started and i’m already feeling behind
