Back in January 2021, I came across this article, Instead of Saying "I Don't Have Time," Say "It's Not a Priority". As a mom of two young kids, who also works full time as a teacher, I constantly feel like there is never enough time. Simply rephrasing " I don't have time" won't magically make more time, but it can help me be more realistic about what I practically can and cannot do, and pausing and being more reflective (both on here on in general) is something I would like to work on in 2025, so here I am making at least some time to pause and write on here (even with my almost 2 year old on my lap).
I just finished reading Stolen Focus, and I related to a lot. Particularly this year I find myself reaching a point, where my brain actually cannot process another piece of information, both at work and at home. It's a little scary to reach that point, but I am trying use that awareness as a sign that I am doing a lot and actually must slow down. Any working mom or teacher (or both) knows that there is always more to do.
And with that being said, it's time to get dinner ready, give my kids baths and get ready for the work week ahead. Did I get everything done that I want to (nope). But maybe I can try again tomorrow.
