I keep thinking that one of these days I’ll catch up and be on top of everything again. So far that doesn’t seem to be happening. My goal over the next weekend and week is to sort myself out so that I’m not working every moment or waking up at the wee hours of the morning thinking about it. This has just not been a good start to the year for a number of reasons, but I think things will get back on track eventually.
I’m still behind on my chapter and although nearly 30 pages were transferred from my Methods chapter, it’s still not enough and I need to spend time sorting through it so that I can add to it.
On top of that I need to be reading, which means I need at least two or three hours a night just to read, plus do some writing.
Now, it’s not to say that I don’t have that time each night. After all, I do go to Pilates and yoga. Plus, I find time to get a bit of pampering in on the weekends or hanging out with friends throughout the week. Some nights I just don’t do anything at all other than watch TV….
So, it’s not a matter of a lack of time. It’s more a matter of lack of energy and motivation. By the time I get home in the evenings, I don’t want to do anything as I’m exhausted from the day at work…. This needs to change somehow…, thus my goal for this weekend and next week (it’s midterm week).
In the meantime I’m still counting down the days until my winter staycation!!! π
