no time
February 28, 2008Lately, I feel like I’m racing the clock, and the clock is winning.
On one hand, it’s great because I am so inspired and there are a gazillion projects that I cannot wait to work on. I haven’t felt this urge to create and the desire to complete in a while.
On the other hand, it stinks because there just isn’t enough time. And I kind of feel like I’m setting myself up for disappointment because I just can’t do it all, at least not as soon as I want to.
So I am practicing patience once again, and I am trying to make better use of my time, and mostly, I am giving myself permission to work at my own pace. I have to remind myself that I’m not losing. There’s not even a race.
I'm Christine, and this is a slice of my life—a sweet, rich, wildly indulgent slice that would taste really good with a scoop of Breyers vanilla bean ice cream. Read more >>
I run a darling, friendly, little graphic design studio.
I look on the bright side.
I take photos. Lots of photos.
I wish on stars and on websites.
I built my first web site 7 years ago and got 15 seconds of fame. (It changed my life.)
I launched, then relaunched, an online magazine.
I admitted to several embarrassing crushes.
I consumed more bacon than any human should and lived to tell the tales.
SHUT UP— those paper dolls are ADORABLE. (Ok sidenote: this is so unrelated to what you’re saying, and I’ll comment on that later), but seriously— can you have your husband call my husband and give him a few anniversary pointers?
DANG!
i was JUST THINKING THE SAME THING TODAY!
sigh….
hugs to you.
thanks for the reminder that we’re not losing…
xo

Patience and time management. Two things I lack. I like to think that there’s no race, no competition… so that once I get all the projects done, (whenever it is I finish) I think, whoa! Look at me and all the stuff I did! As a keener, it makes me feel better.
