I'm adjusting to new responsibilities at work, which means office hours from 8 to 5 instead of 7 to 4, working for a daily newspaper instead of a weekly and writing about law instead of real estate.
So, with all of those adjustments going on, that means changes for my family too. I'm getting home later, spending less time with my husband and son, and finding less time to write for my own enjoyment. Which means less time for this blog. Which means reneging on my commitment to write something here every day.
Sometimes it feels like that elusive work-life balance that I've been striving for -- that we all struggle with -- is only getting further from my grasp. But what it really means is that I have to find ways to fit the things that I want to do (writing and spending time with my family) around the things I have to do (work, exercise, work, clean).
It's time to prioritize so that my life can adjust to fit my work schedule.
