I have been consumed by homework. This has left me unbalanced. How do I find balance in my life? How do I balance school, work, art, housework, exercise and fun? I set the limit for myself that I am not allowed to have any fun until all my homework is finished. But that just makes me resent my homework. All work and no play makes Elissa go something, something. I need to incorporate everything into my daily life, but how? I have tried making schedules, but I quickly stop following them. Scheduling fun doesn't really work for me. What if I accidentally scheduled fun when it is raining? So how do I achieve balance in my life?
Then today I wrote:
It just dawned on me that it is almost March and I have not done any fun actitiviites in Februray. EeeGads! So I made a promise to myself that tonight I am going to a water colour exhibit. My resolution was to help me find balance and not drown in homework. But a whole month has gone by and I am suffocating. That is why last weekend I made an important choice. I chose a mantra; Less Stuff, Less Stress! I am going room by room getting rid of stuff I do not really need. Last weekend I tackled the bedroom; this weekend will be the office. My goal is to have less housework and a more functional home to make my life easier and more fun.
Less Stuff, Less Stress
