It’s not uncommon that I over work myself. I’m willing to stop at nothing to provide for myself and my family, even more so now that I’ve clawed our way above the poverty line with sheer ingenuity.
That said, I can’t be happy or content in the long term if I’m constantly stressed. I can work extraordinarily efficiently, effectively, and above what is demanded when put under high stress. There’s a little place I go to in my head, and then things just magically get sorted.
That’s not healthy though and it forces things to get funneled out elsewhere. I don’t plan on my career ending before I’m dead though, so I want to enjoy the balance of being able to plan out my life and control it well. This means I need time for nothing but family managing. I’m aiming to start having a reliable filming schedule with the school days to maintain this balance,ideally anyways.
We all know how reality has a way of trashing the best laid plans. My goal is to film enough videos during my “good pain weeks” during the school day in my kid-free hours to, hopefully, have some fun updates stashed for when I can’t actively film. This hasn’t been an option for me in well over 3 years since we lost babysitting. Bye bye burden! Hello public school! So far things are going according to plan, but that means there will be the occasional week “off” for video updates. I picked this week to be the first off because I felt it fitting with such a monumental day of remembrance. I’m going to use this week to spend a bit of extra time with my family and make sure our home is conducive to a healthy life. There was once a time where I was forced to imagine a life without them, and it breaks my heart to think of again, so self, family, and work, will all be managed to foster a happy and looooooong career.
Spend a bit of time doing something you love this week, then come back tomorrow when sexy updates return, and never before seen videos release next week!
