I have to say, this weekend my eyes almost fell out of my head because of the amount of time I spend online! There is just so, so, soooo much to learn out there - and I have to say, as exciting as it is, it is also overwhelming.

Not to mention, the ideas just keep popping up in my head, and I just want to start on them all now! However, thankfully, there is a little sensible voice in there somewhere whispering “Jess, slow down… you’ve got the rest of your life to work this stuff out (or, ’till I’m 30, anyway!)… you’ve already got a full-time job, commitment to a part-time job from August through to November, the cello to learn, the gym to visit every day, current blogs to run, a garden to take care of, a partner to spend time with…. *deep breath*. You get the idea.

I am just so interested in the idea of building my own business, and becoming independent! I’m not aiming to be rich or famous - but to be comfortable, in control of my life, and doing something I love.

I guess I just need to slow down, straighten out my priorities, and focus on a few things that I can do really well now, rather than spreading myself too thinly and letting everything suffer.

How does everyone else out there balance their desire to learn/do more with the very real limit of only 24 hours in a day?

  1. My approach is:
    What do I want?
    What can I do about it?
    Do I feel good?

  2. That’s very succinct, Evan! But I guess it sums up how I feel, too. I think in my excitement I have neglected to make a good plan - and that it should be my next step.
