I've been job searching every day for the past 2 months. I just went on my first interview, and it was a total bust. I did well, but didn't end up feeling like it was a good fit for many reasons. Mostly, the pay was atrocious. So now I'm sitting. I've been doing a LOT of that lately, and frankly, I'm exhausted. Yet, I lack the motivation to do much more. And I know how it goes. I'm bored and feel lazy, and then all the sudden, I'm overcommitted and don't even have time to read a book or watch a movie. Where's the balance?
Does anyone else suffer from this inability to find balance in their life? And why do I lack the ability to fill my schedule with worthy activities? Like volunteering, exercise, or taking a class. Instead, I do basically the same thing every day and dig myself into a deeper rut. I feel this unsettling deep down that is growing and will soon explode. I just need to do something new. Shake things up. Take a risk. Stretch myself in new ways. I'm open to suggestions here folks.
I have tons of great ideas, but that's all they are; ideas. I feel incapable of putting them into action, and even when opportunities are presented to me, I'm frozen in indecision. How do innovators become so innovative? How do they not give up at the first sign of trouble? I want to be one of those people. Someone who can see a goal and achieve it, come what may. I guess I need to decide which goal is most important to me and then stick to it. But how?
Mostly, I'm just curious if anyone else feels the same.
(**sidenote: I think I may have eaten some questionable pork pot stickers and am beginning to feel the repercussions).
Well, off to . . . . do something.

Thanks for the play by play on the bowels...that was awesome! I was looking at Anthro's website the other day and thought....Amy's cards would look awesome on here....I wonder if you could call someone and just do it. :) hahaha, i know there is more to it, but...your cards are off the hook and they need to be seen. Use your hookups on DWTS. The stars send cards too ya know. :) Let your first goal be...change up your daily routine to something TOTALLY different...for like a week and see if that helps. Oh, I know...you could come to CO and watch my kids while I take a nap. I am FULL of ideas!
hahaha, that last comment was left by Kel, I am signed into the wrong blog. hahahaha
Amelia, I was thinking Anthro too. How about a job there? And then eventually you could promo your items:) One place that I recommended to AK was 'Home Instead'. They have a branch in LB, pairing younger people with seniors who need driving to app'ts., company, or errands. I had a friend in Michigan who did it and loved it. Just a thought! Love you.
It's funny. I read your post about twitter and then I read this one. I am now on twitter too and my sense of productivity seems to coincide with it. Ha. I wish I had better advice. I work from home and have a really hard time finding a good balance. Lately, I've started to make lists of tasks/goals. Such a simple thing, but it keeps me grounded. xoxoxo
