The other day a friend said to me, “sometimes when you’re slacking in one place, it means your kicking ass in another place!” While I’m sad that my productivity with this space seems to be like a jolting roller coaster, I’m happy to have been dedicating much of my time to my job. It’s a job that I don’t have to “work” everyday. You know the saying, “if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life”, that’s what I’m getting at here. I never complain or reluctantly go to work, whether it’s at 8 a.m. (okay, sometimes I’m reluctant at 8 a.m. but that’s only because I hate mornings) or 7 p.m. or weekends for a game. I genuinely love working in sports communications. In addition to the wonderful people I work with, I love the relationships that I’ve built with the coaches, athletes, and media that walk through our doors on a daily basis.
With that though, it’s sometimes hard to find that work/life
balance or the time to dedicate to other hobbies. Now that I won’t have to
worry about school work on top of my job (I graduated with my Master’s last
week. YAY!), I hope to be able to dedicate the limited free time I have to
other hobbies I enjoy.
In the last few months I have really made working out a
staple in my routine. I have found
classes and exercises that work for me and I am loving the results.
I want to blog more.
It’s usually on the back of my mind, but finding the time or the ideas
in order to produce quality content is not always there.
I want to read more.
The amount of books I have on my “to read” list are piling up so quickly
and I’ve only read two so far this year.
And most importantly, I want to dedicate time to my friends
and family. I don’t live close to most of them, so finding time to catch up and
face time is really important to me.
So here’s to finding that balance, while continuing to work
my tail off for a job I love.
