Time Crunch: On a Deadline

Character Traits

Character Flaw: I'm perpetually behind; always running late.

Strong Point: I'm relentless; always pursuing passions and developing ideas

Character Flaw: I take on many projects at one time; often out of necessity

Strong Point: I have many interests and can carry a conversation on a wide range of topics; I'm always looking to learn more; discover opportunities and make the most of life.

Character Flaw: I have no concept of time.

Strong Point: I can go and go and go; eventually I crash, but I can sustain an insane schedule for a while; when and if I need to. I can even look and sound as if I'm getting the proper amount of sleep.

Character Flaw: Sometimes I open my mouth when I shouldn't; and sometimes I simply talk too much.

Strong Point: I'm not afraid to stand up for what I believe in and defend those who cannot defend themselves.

Character Flaw: I rarely ask someone for help; when I do it means I don't have any other options; I'm at the end of my rope.

Strong Point: I'm extremely resourceful; I can do a lot with very little; I have tons of drive.

Schedules

It's hard to keep up with my crazy schedule sometimes. I never have fewer than 3 or 4 irons in the fire at one time. And spring always seems to be the busiest of seasons for me.

So, at this moment I'm bogged down under heavy piles of work; the creative juices running slow and the time to pound out posts is meager at best. So, just bear with me as I get through these next few months.

Time Lines

Here are a few of my fave posts on time or balance or employment decisions. Moms, you understand the pressure to do so much for everyone day in and day out. I imagine you'll identify with these posts too.

The Scoop

As I struggle to juggle the balls and keep them all in the air at the same time, please journey back into the Motherly Law archives. I actually can't juggle and must rely on sleight of hand and optical illusions to pull off my schedule each week. Over and out...

This showed a lot of self-insight, Anna. I like YOU, friend, and all of your strong points (they definitely outweigh/overshadow any character flaws you mentioned!).
