Refreshed.

I think last week might have worked! I woke up this morning with a long list of to-do’s and have already been checking things off one by one. That reprieve was just what I needed. My schedule this week is a bit chaotic, but I am hoping to really set aside some time tonight to evaluate what’s been done and what needs to be done. I typically plan and organize my schedule a lot and I think the summer hours and sense of freedom have inhibited that. I still want to have those carefree nights with my kiddos, but I think I will be able to enjoy them more if I feel a bit more grounded in my work and school space.

Last week truly helped me to evaluate my priorities. Not only did I get to spend amazing time with my family, but I completed an interviewer with an instructional designer, Alannah, that I really connected with. I was feeling a bit burnt out and overwhelmed, but she really helped turned that around for me. Discussing the pro’s and con’s of working with different companies or on different projects was just what I needed to remind me why I am here. It can be so tempting to fall into a rut and remain comfortable, but I am ready to shake things up. I feel like I have a new pep in my step to finish out my summer classes strong and I am sure by the end of this year I will look back and be blown away by how far I’ve come and how much I’ve already learned.
