Entrepreneurial chat💬Finding the lost balance// . It’s the time of the year again when work is starting to pick up towards the peak season. As you might have guessed, pandemic or not, education and publication businesses stay blink-and-you-miss-it. Just writing about it now js triggering my anxiety. Well, not as much luckily- the pandemic had trained me to be a more adaptable decision maker. But in the meantime, I noticed there’s much room for me to improve in the productivity department. . 2020 is such a weird year I don’t feel myself the way I did before it. (Can anyone relate?) two takeaways are 1. Wake up with a purpose a.k.a. What are you willing to wake up for? The key words of affirmation here are “Are you willing?”. I find this affirmation very powerful as willpower belongs to yourself, and no one can take it away from you. If you’re willing, you will make it happen! . 2. My second takeaway is to quantify that “balance”- the work-life balance we all talk about. By quantifying, I mean to ask yourself “have you had enough me-time?” and also “have you worked hard enough?”In chaotic days like this, I had lost track of time and date, messed up my sleeping schedule and you know what follows. Versus days before pandemic, I had a hard time having quality life outside of work. At some point in my career I found myself blending work and life together, which honestly sounded fun and all but I didn’t actually get to enjoy either. We need that switch that turns on and off when you’re determined to start the project strong, and when you clock out and be a person for yourself. . Quantify the amount of time you’re working and relaxing. Find your sweet spot. Feel free to share with me your journey of finding your lost balance. I would love to hear from you who are on a similar journey as I am💕 xx . Wardrobe: @aliceandolivia Tanisha Paisley dress
