Last summer was a tough one for my family so this year I vowed things would be different. I want to seize every weekend to do something fun or interesting so as to wring the most out of my favorite season as I can. Of course, this commitment to fun throws my time management skills into a tailspin . . . skills that are severely tested under normal circumstances. I find that I get bits of things done here and there, but when it comes to my writing it just doesn't feel good enough. I am eager to get started on the newer of my new book ideas, and I had some good pieces fall into mental place this week, but I have not had the chance to sit down and map out where these pieces should go. I still have a lot of pre-writing I need to do before I am able to actually start working on the book, and so that's the goal I need to focus on for next week. As I look at my schedule I have just one day where I am not booked, but I hope to keep finding those here and there pockets of time so I can at least get a few things accomplished. Time is one of the things I prize most, and the thing I have the least freedom with.
How I envy people who have more flexibility and freedom in their lives! My friends in this boat have worked hard for it, and they give me faith that if I keep working towards my goals I can find a little bit of that freedom and flexibility, too.
xoxo,
bex
