Work/Life Balance

Happy Sunday, y'all. Can we be real for a quick second? I'm exhausted. Like crazy tired. Between being on my little art grind again, a full time job, a really anxious dog, and a house that is like a never ending side-mission supplier I am freakin' beat. I try really hard to be an in the moment person--- like I live slowly and try to make sure I do things with intention and I think that that becomes very difficult when I'm feeling stretched thin. I think I get kinda careless or sloppy with things that I wish I wouldn't. (Everyone does, it's a human thing, not just a me thing--- I think, haha.) I know that something specific to me is that I'm really prideful on my work--- both creatively and professionally. Sometimes, so much so that I prioritize those over other things that maybe I shouldn't be ranking them over. This is something I've always done and I'm not really sure there's a cure for it--- but I am getting a lot better at recognizing when it's happening, so it does give me time to brainstorm and come up with solutions! I can only really budge and change so many things though--- as some stuff is just out of my control. So, really what I'm saying is--- there's going to be a few little changes on my end in regards to how much you see of me and where! I want to prioritize making this place cooler, and where I spend most of my online time ultimately. SO, I think what would make sense is I spend quite a bit of time here and get a day or two off from my other socials a week. As long as this place is chill and I'm keeping up with my schedule here, I don't see why that would be an issue. (Especially because if you want me to be all technical about it, posting everyday on social media doesn't necessarily track in analytics as much as you think it would. There are days that perform better than others and why would I stress myself out to post everyday when I could just post things when I know they'll be seen by the max amount of people---- ya see?) So, basically this really long winded post is just me telling y'all that I'm not subscribing to the "post every day a million times so you max out the eyes on your stuff" trend anymore. I'm someone who NEEDS to prioritize the quality over the quantity, I want everything I show you to be something worth seeing and I think that that just isn't sustainable if-- let's use tiktok as an example---I'm trying to show you five new things five times a day every day. Like it's kind of just me turning myself into mulch for no reason, especially because like I said, there are days I'm posting stuff and it gets buried pretty quickly because some days just perform better than others! For now, at least, just expect that maybe I'm a little absent once or twice a week. If something changes I can go back to everyday, but for now girl I'm employing a forced weekend lol. I hope you all have a good week--- and that you aren't as sleepy as me! And if you are that you also consider making time to force yourself into having a break. No use in burning yourself out. Taya
