I remember so many friends and relatives telling me things like, “you wait till your a parent, you really really won’t know where all your time goes” or “you think you’re a busy person now, wait till you have a baby”. I always shrugged it off thinking it would be relatively similar to how my life already was, I’ve pretty well always got a project or 5 on the go…….not any more.
Every single day my ‘to do’ list just gets longer and longer. I’ve got hours and hours of coding work backed up, a few paper work jobs at my 9-5 workplace that are piling up, I’ve got 2 or 3 photo sets that need editing, and that’s doesn’t include any of the normal housework, cooking dinner, etc.
I’m not sure when I’ll be caught up again…..hrmm I’m thinking I might outsource a bit of the coding work as at this point in time I don’t know when I’m going to be able to get to it. Maybe that’s the answer, lighten the load a little by outsourcing some of the work. Sure I don’t make as much money out of the work, but on the plus side I don’t end up with an upset client.
Have you noticed my blogs lately have ended up rambling and wandering? Yeh, there’s another thing that you don’t realise will effect you as much as it does…..baby brain. My brain is so scattered of late, I have to write so many notes for myself and set alarms for stupid things because I’m forgetting just about everything lately. My calendar is as messy as my to do list.
I’m an awesome example of how not to GTD.. haha
Ok, I’m going to end the misery of this blog post now before the ramble gets too long.
