#62: Consciousness more than balance

Published: Jan. 23, 2020, 11:30 a.m.

I talk a lot about work life balance, but here I am to tell you to take another look into that concept. I came to understand that my life is always forcing me to one side. I can't be balanced 100% of the time. Sometimes I need to work more than I wanted. Sometimes I'm tired, and I just can't do anything than doing nothing. And that's ok. So I'm looking at this process as something more daily. I would like to practice programming every day. But I can't, because of other tasks I have to get done. So I'm getting conscious about what I am doing with my time during the day. And understanding how can I add programming practice as something important without sleeping less, without missing a meal and other things that are not negotiable. So I'm not sad that I can't practice programming every day. It's a current fact, as of Jan 2020. I'm not going to solve that issue balancing my life, cause the balance never happens. At this moment, I'm seeking to work less hours in clients to be able to research more and have more innovative / creativity time available. It's a process, not something I can balance. Make sure you get more conscious about your day and your time. Start from that spot. -- Daniel Wildt
