Too Many Hats

Ugh, I've hit a bump in the road. I was trying so hard to keep everything going that it was bound to fall apart a bit.

Here is the list: turn sleep schedule around, exercise, cook frequently, clean up apartment, do clothes shopping over time to add essential work clothes to wardrobe, etc., etc., the list goes on and on.

My problem was that I was trying to do all of these things at once because I want them all to get done - now. I wanted to feel accomplished in all of these areas, but I really just ended sucking at all of them. I wanted to think that I could be completely settled in my new life just 2 months after getting here! So now the bump in the road was needed so I could have a more realistic view of the way the world works: fast and simple is not always on the menu.

To get over this little hump, I am going to try to focus on the most important things first and work my way through the rest. Sleep is my number one priority right now and it will effect my energy to get everything else done. I must do better at this to be more energized at work, stay up in the evenings to get things done, and get to bed at a reasonable time every night (or at least most nights). Gotta be smarter about this!

So with that, I am off to bed and trying to have more realistic views of what I can accomplish in one day. Don't worry, I'll still be reaching for all of my goals but this new pace should actually make them more attainable.

Zzzzzzz...
