I haven’t managed to write any posts for a couple of weeks because I’ve been caught up in lots of things going on in the rest of my life. It’s interesting to see how all this played out in the pages of my daily notebook:
- Several pages of journal entries agonizing about whether or not to pursue a promotion at work
- Calculations of salary and bonus for new job
- Notes about how to succeed in new job
- Sketches of how to rearrange furniture in new office
- Notes for questions to ask in interviewing new employees
- List of things I need to learn more about for new job
- Daily schedule plans for how to get to work earlier every morning and still fit in gym, cooking dinner, and assorted other life activities
- More lists of ideas for things to accomplish in new job
- Notes jotted down during various lunches with colleagues and clients
- Notes jotted down during long weekend road trips to visit family
- Notes about people I’ve interviewed and more ideas for questions to ask them
- List of things to do on first weekend in a month where I’ll actually have some free time, such as blog posts!
Strangely, all this was crammed into only about 20 pages, along with some of the other usual things like grocery lists and doodling. Anyway, I’m hoping things settle down soon so I can get back to more regular blogging!
What notebook or journal are you using to fit both personal and professional life?
You know what, ms nifty? Aftermso many years of blogging for us, you can take a few months me for. Maybe even wrap it up if you need to. Enjoy your family. And enjoy your job. All this other stuff is w-a-y down the priority list.,
