Everything is a work in progress
There are so many things I feel like I should work on about myself and my managing skills or what have you, here are a few!
- Making a schedule!
I feel like I never have time for ANYTHING when in reality I have a lot of time which I spend thinking about doing things instead of actually doing them. I actually sit at work day dreaming about all the things I could be doing at home but when I get home I don't do any of those things hahaha. For the record I only daydream for a moment lol. I love my job!
- Meeting new people (in photography circle)
I've always thought I was an outgoing person until I realized I'd rather sit on the couch watching SVU in my spare time than be invited out to do something, then realize no one invites me out anyways lol. My life is already so full of wonderful people but sometimes I look at other photographers and I'm a little jealous! Like instagram is full of togetherness and me I'm like look! Here's another photo of my kids, Billy or clients lol. I guess that's another reason I'm working on this I've been doing this since 2010 but I only actually know one other photographer and that's because we were friends before then.
- Being Involved
So on top of everything I do, Christian is now a first grader! I'd like to think I'm totally involved, I'm reading to him every night and vice versa but we aren't. That needs to change. I know I'm not the only parent who struggles with time management...right? Being involved to me is more than asking how their day was, it's asking and actually listening. This goes a long with everything! I've been busting my butt to be the best mom to them. As a stay at home mom I thought working 24/7 whether it be my crochet or photography was being the best. I was contributing financially but really what happened was I missed them hanging decorations on the tree and they heard a lot of, "ok, hang on let me finish this last thing." Now I'm a single mom who will set that stuff down and only edit an hour of the they day when they are awake and stay up all night to finish. How many times have you heard don't mix business w your personal life? I can't help but have all my work at home but I do have the ability to make my own schedule and work load-another thing I need to work on.
I'm sure there are a million other things I need to work on but for now I'll focus on those 3.
