Life Happens....

We sometimes take on too much in life when we are already struggling to balance family, work, and various activities as it is. But the neat thing is, yes you can do it all, if you are really passionate about it and genuinely happy. The most important thing we forget sometimes is being happy in all of the things you take on in life. If we are not then maybe consider it is not worth giving your 100%. When we do find those things that makes us happy, it is when we then need to learn how to balance it all. It various from people the way they organize themselves or not. But I have found it helpful keeping a few days dedicated to certain things. Usually work and classes have already a defined time set already, but finding time to hang out with family or friends can vary. A weekly or monthly schedule comes in handy that blocks off those set times already and gives you a look at your free time. I used a schedule from a school template, but I also rely very much on my phone's calender. I am not really an agenda type of gal because I either forget about it or lose it after a couple of months in. I rather do weekly schedules and the most important reminders on my calender phone. So far it has worked but I would really love to know more ideas, especially with the holidays coming at us like a flashing thunder!
