It’s been a while since I last blogged. Allow me to explain.
I had plans to juggle transcription work with other things. I planned to just work on two files a day and then spend the rest of my time each day working on music. I never intended to make my days revolve around work, and Verbit lets me do just that; I work when I want. No one owns my time except the people and things that really matter in my life.
Work smart, not hard; it’s a popular quip, it rings true and I did let its’ ring resonate in my work attitude back when I was still in an office setting. I’m not exactly dedicated to work, but neither am I lazy. I’ve always tried to make time while in the office to enjoy and entertain myself every chance I get. I had the work/life balance figured out by constantly pulling against the forces that wanted me to work.
But here I am now. No corporate rules forcing me to work according to their whims. For the first time, no one had strings on me. Save for the actual necessity for me to provide for my son as well as my monthly bills, nothing was trying to take my time away from me.
It’s the perfect chance for me to juggle work with the things I really want to do; create music, study, read more books, blog, play games and a whole lot more. So what do I do? I completely stop playing games, put my musical adventures and every single hobby on hold and work every single moment that I can. We can be such strange creatures sometimes. Now that work is waiting for me and that I don’t HAVE to do it, I end up getting consumed by it.
It’s 1:46 AM. I just finished my fourth file for the day a few minutes ago. I just figured I’d make this short entry to make myself aware of what I’m doing with my life before I go to sleep. Is this a bad thing? Do I have a plan? I think I do. I think I know why I’m doing it. It’s just mind-blowing that I didn’t see myself becoming like this on any scenario I could imagine.
Regardless of how old we are, how jaded we are, or what we think we are capable of, Life can always surprise us.
