I am going to need Friday’s off

11 Comments

If you follow my blog you should know by now that I don’t have a real posting schedule, I can go three weeks without posting a single thing or I can post ten times in one day.

I like to blame this on the fact that I have two jobs, and a rather normal social life, and by normal I mean I rush out of work to go get wasted at cheap bars with good friends once or twice a week, I am hoping this is normal, anyways I am deviating away from my point. The point is that, although I love to blame it on my lack of time, I am actually the only one responsible for me not being consistent and organized with my blog, and so many other aspect of my life.

So we that in mind I will, for the first time in my life (since I don’t believe in setting new years goals), will set a goal for this new year coming up, and it is to MAKE time for me, my writing and my photography once a week, I have changed my availability with my weekend job to always have Friday’s afternoons off, and I am in the process of picking a nice coffee shop in the city to hang at on those days. Now this not guaranty me posting more or just posting every Friday, this just guaranty me taking the time to go sit at a cafe, just me, my laptop and my camera, and while this Friday we might be taking photos, next we might be writing, you get the idea?

It is all part of me trying to improve my metal and over all health, I am one to believe I have shit under control and then when it hits the fan I go running back to therapy crying because I really didn’t have it under control, and although, therapy helps bring me back out of my I REALLY FUCKED UP THIS TIME crisis, I need to be more committed to improve on my own and to keep it that way.

I am hopping this helps my over all motivation and to be a good impact on me. Some would say I just finally decided to grow up, since I am a 27-year-old woman who doesn’t have her shit together, and by now all people my age definitely have life figure out, don’t they ?     ( Don’t let my sarcasm hit you in the face), others will support and be helping hands with this small but meaningful step towards me getting shit under control, anyways I’m rappelling again.

I have set only two goals for this new year, having Friday’s for me and budgeting better, I am so excited to start 2016, because yes 2015 was great to me, but it is time to walk into the future with an improved positive attitude!

 

What are some of your goals for this new year? Are you excited to get started?

 

Feel free to like, comment or share!!

  1. I like the sound of this and I think a certain amount of scheduling can be really helpful, along with a healthy amount of ‘Fuck it’ attitude. I like everything you do but I’m especially glad to hear you are going to try to devote some more photography time because I have been lacking in that recently. Some of the best results I get are going out for the day (usually just me, but sometimes with my wife) and going to one particular area and letting the creativity come to me, instead of trying to find it somewhere. I find I get really good results by doing this and to further answer your question, I plan on doing this in 2016 more. I also plan to spend Friday afternoons when I get off work sitting in a nice quiet pub not far from my apartment with my laptop and just working on my writing. I find I get a little closed in now and I need to find a quiet place to work.

  2. Hear hear for NYE resolutions! Age doesn’t matter, so kick yourself around for not having shit together. I know folks twice that age still flying by the seat of their pants with one bad decision or life crisis after another 🙂 Hope you find that perfect creative space to get in the zone at. I’m constantly on the move and have grown found to write and plan in parks, beaches, empty movie theaters, or when I am out with friends at favorite bar drinking cheap booze 😉

  3. I like this post and especially like the idea of your Friday afternoons. It is really important to take some time for ourselves. Putting specific time aside to do this is a great idea.

  4. 32 and don’t have my sh*t together!! There’s not an age limit though, is there? I really need to take a leaf out of your book and set aside time for myself, chilling out in a coffee shop sounds like a great idea!
