Balance

It never seems like there is enough time to do all the things I need to do. I know I am not the only one to feel this way but sometimes the stress of knowing what needs to get done with the limited time I have to do them feels overwhelming.

I was supposed to be done all my projects for the year with the exception of maybe a week in Whitehorse sometime before December. That changed when a new project popped up and I was asked if I could go. I didn’t need to say yes, but being a contractor, it would not be in my best interest. So of course, I said I could go. What that means for me, is I have a week home and then I will be gone for another 12 days again.

The stress comes in from the list of things I need to work on at home that keep getting pushed off. I also like to get to the Kwoon as much as possible which cuts into my time at home. What I realize from this is even after all these years of travelling for work, I still struggle to maintain a balance in my life. Sometimes I have to make sacrifices in my life and it is never an easy decision on what to sacrifice.

  1. It’s easy to say make decisions based on your priorities, but it gets tough when priorities overrun other priorities. Let me know when you figure out how to balance everything.

  2. With how busy you are, I cannot express enough how much I appreciate your time and feedback when it comes to helping me with the things I am working on. It makes a world of difference.

  3. Having irregular schedule makes this hard. We can only do our best with the given time. When you are at the Kwoon I always trying to get the most out of you as you have lots to learn from.
