Rejecting the productivity guilt trip, thoughts on fame, privacy and wealth, the dress I'm wearing on repeat, how to be more positive, and more.
We’re a week into summer vacation and, so far so good. We had a fun trip to Portsmouth, NH and I have so many great recommendations I can’t wait to share. I also have an ever growing list of things I want to talk/write about, but our childcare situation is pretty non-existent until early July. Which leads me to something I’ve finally started to accept…
With multiple projects going on including working behind the scenes on launching my new site, I’m trying something new. I’m not guilt tripping myself. I have spent years of my life, especially since having a child, constantly making myself feel bad about not getting enough done, not being productive enough, not squeezing enough out of every waking moment of my day. It has gotten me nothing, expect feeling bad.
The days go by too fast. When my daughter was an infant, I ached for what I have now. I’ll never look back and regret working less to get a little more time with her. This season of life is busy, but I’m finding ways to slow it down. Working less means earning less money, and being less relevant, but spending time with my daughter, living my life, that’s priceless. I hope you can find a little time to enjoy life, offline.
