GYRE MAELSTROM UPDATE

I give myself grace to: recognize that there is always room for improvement, but unreasonable expectations and pressure isn’t for me. Ask the kids to quietly play elsewhere while I work. I give myself grace to: ignore the laundry basket. I give myself grace to: sit down for a reading session in the afternoon.

I give myself grace to: fold ten loads of laundry. To be inspired by a blog, or devotional, or Facebook video. I give myself grace to: take moments of rest. I give myself grace to: allow myself to research. No one is losing hours from me ( in fact, I’m probably owed some…) No one is hurt by my methods, so why do I allow myself to feel inferior as I juggle as best I can? I need grace. No one is waiting for important documentation. I rely on checklists and if my to-do lists are being accomplished even if it means a few chapters of reading, followed by a load of laundry, followed by some document review, with some unscheduled brownie making or a lunch date with myself before I pick a new camp curriculum, that’s okay. I’ve come to realise that just because I don’t follow a linear plan, it doesn’t mean I’m doing things wrong.

However, I’m learning to give myself grace.

Log in to Facebook to schedule a client’s updates for the week. Distraction and non-productivity at one end. (Squirrel!)īalance is my own personal polar vortex. I have to work hard to balance family life, homemaking, and self-employment and it’s not always as easy as it sounds, especially as some days I resemble the dog in UP. The downfall of being surrounded by the comforts of home while I’m supposed to be productive with other people’s projects, is, honestly, distractions. You may just have to wait until I get them on the bus in the morning. Oh, you need that flyer tomorrow, but just got me the information I need? I’ll work on it after I make dinner, clean dishes, and tuck the kids into bed. School assembly? Let me slip out of the office early and add an extra hour on Wednesday. Inclement weather day? No problem! I’ll work from home. The flexibility of this arrangement has its perks. I can see how that last line confused you. (By the beast, I refer to my dog… not my husband. I tend to juggle my family life with client obligations and can be found processing spreadsheets, checking emails, and designing flyers surrounded by piles of laundry, a cup of tea on the table, book close at hand, and the beast snoring away wherever he can find a warm comfy spot. I know I have client projects and prep work to tackle on weekends. I know that I have to be “on” come Sunday. I don’t work a traditional 40-50 hour work week.
