JUGGLING JOBS

Last year as I planned and prepared for my wedding, (you can get the stories here and here), my siblings always teased me about having to do so many things at the same time. They used to jokingly call me the lady with 4 jobs; medical doctor, interior designer, blogger and wedding planner, lol. What we didn’t put into consideration was the fact that indeed I was going to have 4 jobs at the end of the wedding – wife/homemaker.

The tricky part then became how to create enough time handle these jobs efficiently. One thing is for sure, they can’t each be given 100% of my time but they can get 100% of my dedication. The final solution was quite simple – juggling.

Started and ended this post more times than I care to remember. Started with the post title “juggling duties” and ended with “juggling jobs”, guess that’s the point of the challenge. It has to be challenging sometimes, not just easy breezy.

  2. Multitasking is never easy. There just aren't enough hours in the day to do everything. The key is learning how to prioritize, thereby maximizing the little time we do have. You sound like you've got that pretty much figured out though, so kudos to you.

    P.S: You have just been nominated for the Liebster Award. Check out the following link for more details:

  3. I think learning to juggle different jobs and responsibilities is something that everyone has to learn but not everyone is as good at it as others. I have a habit of focusing rather more on one thing than another (usually whatever is most enjoyable) and then realise too late that I've been neglecting things.

    It's definitely difficult to keep all those balls in the air!

  4. It seems to me that balance is the key to life; balancing home with work, quiet with loud, alone time with people time. Your juggling thoughts are much appreciated! Visiting from A-Z (http://comingbackintolife.blogspot.com/)

  5. It could be overwhelming sometimes and one just needs to take a few days break from all once in a while. But it sure makes one very active and sharp.
