Hello!
Where to start?
I want to talk about balance today, not the physical, teetering on a gymnastics beam type balance, but the "getting stuff done vs taking it easy" type.
I mention this because I notice my last post was in August last year! No, I haven't been doing nothing all this time, but I have not been managing my time very well. I've had days where I have been wall-to-wall busy, and I've had days when I just CBA (Can't Be Arsed).
I found out last September that I was very ill - the sort of ill that needs radiotherapy for 6 weeks, and months of recovery. I felt physically drained and emotionally wrung out - so some might say I've had a good reason to neglect the blog, but to be honest, I haven't.
It's very easy to let things slide though. I like to keep busy, I help my wife with the chores, I cook our meals, I help her with her business, I make scale model armoured vehicles, I write a journal daily, do some gardening, and so on. My days are filled - and yet I've avoided some things like the plague!
I've not written this blog, I have not posted any pictures or updates to my other military model making blog, I have not updated or maintained the two websites I made for local business friends. It's like my heart just isn't in it - and yet these things have just as much importance, if not more, as checking Facebook, or looking at Pinterest.
It's all about time management really, and having effective To Do lists. Making sure the small details are not forgotten, and taking the time to get the balance right.
So, the next time I'm flicking through the myriad of Sky channels bemoaning the fact that there's nothing worth watching on TV, I shall be popping by here to share another thought or two with you!
Balance - maybe it is a physical thing after all?
