How to find a balance between the things I want to do and the things I need to do
It made me
Satisifed
 "Finding a balance was nothing but a relief, and offered me a breath of fresh air!"
How I did it: In college, I have always been running around, and filling up any empty moments in my schedule with activity. I also always stressed out. I found a balance by cutting down on some of my activities, and making sure I made time for things that I valued. I would often feel very guilty, but I realized that I had to ignore this feeling for a little while and not stress out as much. I did it as much for my sanity as my health because I think that striking a balance and not stressing adds years to one's life. Lessons & tips: -Cut out any activities that you do not absolutely love. Make sure that each day, you have a little while to just sit, breath, and do something that you enjoy doing. Resources: -I went to a counselor during the first month of the semester for two sessions to discuss some things that had been worrying me. We also discussed relaxation techniques and methods.

Alex lessening my goals; focusing on what now is.
How I did it: I pictured myself as if I was watching a film of the person who I want to be. since I want to be a responsible person, I kinda tried to love what I needed to do...I'm still getting there though but I can feel I'll get moving. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Most of what I do is what I love to do. And, as far as things that are a strain - well, some just need to be done to keep life ticking. Some I can just say no to. I'm re prioretising my to do list. I'm facing up to physical incapacity. Having this goal has been a huge help in getting some perspective. Read how I did it…
dragonfly35 overwhelmed, mostly by the good.
How I did it: I used 43Things to list goals that I both wanted and needed to get done. Then, I worked on those goals. It helped me to stop wasting so much time.First, I started spending more time doing things I really wanted to do instead of just killing time doing nothing (watching TV, surfing the internet, etc.). I really focused on quality "me" time.Then, I also dedicated myself to taking care of the things I needed to do quickly and eff… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I just took it one day at a time. Realized I needed to do both in order to get my goals accomplished! I've spent too much time in the past being scared to do what I really want to do. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Made a list of the things I want to do & the things I HAVE to do. I made a comitment to doing what I wanted for 3 hours a week. Sometimes that might mean having someone else look after the kids or picking an activity you can do when they are in bed. Read how I did it…
ijamie3 work, work, work! first yardWORK, then homeWORK then job-like WORK!
i need to find a balance in my life because i often times find myself not doing what i need to until the last minute. i hope this helps, and i think i’m doing better! :)
i think i really should do it.I JUST STUDY ALL THE DAY I DO NOT GO OUT TO PLAY OR DO OTHER THINGS. OR I JUST PLAY AND DO NOT DO ANY LERANING.
I THINK I SHOULD FIND A WAY TO BALANCE IT!!
I don’t know how to accomplish this, i am the type of person who does what she wants to do not what she needs to do.

I’m going to mark this DONE for now. For the entire summer semester, I’ve been balancing what I want and what I need to do very well. I’ve been finding pleasure again in daily tasks, and have been very successful in letting go of the things that I cannot do. Although I’ve been finding lots of time to take care of myself, I have not fallen too far behind in either work or school, and am maintaining the things I am responsible for in these areas. I’m proud of myself.
Of course, this is never really done. But if I want/ need to again, I can always put it back on my list.
nawatramani is on the mend!
I was wondering how I would know when to mark this complete and have decided to do a review in the last week of December to see if I need to mark this complete or to keep it on, if more work is required.
That said, this past weekend was spent doing things at home but also towards a worthwhile cause. That was good. Also read a book which is always a plus! :)
I’ve realised I don’t do enough for myself. So, I’m going to make sure I have time off to spend with friends, pamper myself and enjoy what I have.
I’ve set my work hours and intend to stick to them – no overtime and no giving in to requests from harassed bosses that they have a staff shortage. My responsibility is to do my job well for the hours I’m paid to do it – end of.
I need to look at my job as a way to pay the bills and build my career – it needs to be only a part of my life, but not the defining and all time consuming part.
nawatramani is on the mend!
... have been especially trying! Trying to catchup up wih everything after coming back from vacation, getting the house in order and trying to hold on to the serenity of being away from it all has not been easy.
I finished a book I have been wanting to read and then some pending work like performance assessments. Now I have to work on some reports due tomorrow at noon but what I want to do is get some rest.
