First day of unemployment aka Freedom Day 1
I was too lazy and too busy partying over the weekend to post anything. Today is my first Monday in a very long time when I didn’t and wearing a suit with a tie. This is the first day when I actually feel that I quit my daily job.
The feelings are mixed. I am reading Finding Career Path by J.T. O’Donnell and she writes that she quit and it was “the most terrifying yet exhilarating thing I ever done.” I think I feel the same way and feelings of “i need to do stuff” with “it is time to relax finally” are struggling inside me.
I think balance in life in general is really important and it is important right now. Obviously, I have millions of things to do starting from catching up on my projects at home to planning on how I am going to earn income after my savings run out. Yet I don’t know when is the next time when I will have 5 weeks of a time that belongs just to me, so I will need to make the most of it.
How do I maintain a balance? I try to be reasonable with myself: I made a short to-do list and decided I will reward myself with a book reading after. This way I am still active, but having a plenty of rest as well. My plan is to completely clean and de-clutter my house. That way when I come back I can really start from clean slate without pending tasks that been chasing me for months.
Tomorrow to do things:
-clean my office (picture at the top) it will take awhile
-buy cofee beans (no more Tim Hortons)
-check out Digsby
-have a nap
-try to print my business cards before CaseCamp
-attending CaseCamp and SummerCamp party afterwards
I will post my reflection about CaseCamp tomorrow, hopefully it will be productive and I will be able to network with a lot of people.
