Hi Saxi,
I hadn't checked your blog for a while but wanted to comment. Hope you get this! Your post about missing weekends and balance really resonates with me. Perhaps you are an introvert also. This weekend I was going to meal plan and work on my conference paper and do laundry etc. But instead, after missing the weekend before, I was exhausted. I didn't want to do any of this work. Instead I got caught up with some of the things that were stressing me out. Now I'm eating chili out of my freezer for the 3rd day in a row. So sick of chili.
There are people who are like the energiser bunny. But I think you are like me, more of the reflective sort. If we don't have time to be with ourselves and think and regroup we feel frazzled.
I find it hard to keep up my work blog when I'm frazzled because I don't have the creative energy to write anything. I hope your blogging break will help you to rejuvenate.
All the best,
Sleek Otter
Hi Sleek
Thanks a lot for your comment. You're right, I really need the downtime for regrouping. So nice to hear that you completely understands. I often feel like most people are the energizer bunnies who gets all sorts of things done during the weekend or at least have enough energy for being active, ouitgoing and social.
