Life has been overwhelmingly busy. I’m working on new
contracts. My day job has demanded 75+ hours a week and the school year is
coming to an end. Oh and add in a sick two year old. Talk about crazy. As the
weather starts to brighten here in Rhode Island, so is life. Work at the day
job is slowing down, my projects are almost done for June and I’m gearing up to
send out emails for July and August work.
Balance has played a key role over the last few weeks. Things
had to be left by the wayside and blogging was one of them. In your career you
have to find balance. You can’t make money if you’re focusing too much on
social media, yahoo groups and neglecting your writing.
So I had to disappear from these for a time to balance the
important things…making money and caring for my family.
With the summer weather I tend to find it difficult to want
to sit at my desk and work, but I do it. The sun and pool taunt me from my
office window. They beg me to join them. My checkbook reminds me I must work. The bills
that continue to fill the mailbox monthly remind me that if I want to play I must
work hard. But I do spend time in the pool. My reward for a job well done? My
iPod, a cold drink and my purple float, drifting around the pool.
Do you reward yourself when you accomplish a project? If so
how?
