Your family needs you. Your job is happy to take any spare time you wish to give. There is so much to do it can be hard to take time for yourself.
The past week has been a struggle. I’ve been taking time away from sleep and self-care to give work and family. Yesterday I crashed. At 2:00 p.m. I emailed my boss that I would not be able to finish a project I was working on until tomorrow. I went to bed and slept for 13 hours.
Then I woke up at 3:00 a.m. My thoughts, in order were
- I bet I could finish that project.
- I wonder if I could get some work done around the house without waking anyone up.
I do not know what to do for me. Oh, I waste time. I scroll through Reddit or TikTok. But, I am starting to think that time is not for me. I can’t tell you one thing I read on Reddit yesterday. Nothing was so impactful that it made a difference in my life.
So where do I start? I’m removing Reddit and TikTok from my phone. They bring me neither joy nor peace.
What do I do instead? I have not figured it out.
