However, in a perverse way, I feel taking this job will actually give me better focus...it will allow me to keep skills honed and force me to value the rest of my time more. <br /><br />And, yes, I got the job. I start next Monday. I'll let you know how it goes!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12272573937238500874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22506528.post-87805578408204531062011-03-28T15:30:56.789-04:002011-03-28T15:30:56.789-04:00I'll keep my fingers crossed for the part-time...I'll keep my fingers crossed for the part-time editing position. <br /><br />You and me both need to pump the brakes. Deep breath in, let it out slow. I put a tremendous amount of pressure on myself to accomplish a zillion things in a week, and end up discouraged when I fail to meet those expectations. <br /><br />Working on one thing at a time, starting with the project with the earliest deadline is a good start. Cutting your To Do List down to the most important things, perhaps, projects that are going to bring in the money. <br /><br />Just remember, you are bringing up your child (full-time position) and writing (another full-time position). Getting a job outside of the house could draw attention from the other jobs. And don't forget to let yourself know you're doing a great job!Laura M.
