Keeping the faith here when life challenges
Keeping going when your job exhausts you with routinely long days and/or you get sick for a few weeks from time to time, is a challenge. I'm at that point at the moment. So I've had to think up a strategy to get myself back on track. When I think of how I manage my health issues, part of what I do is to have a strategy to ensure that I consume my capsules and food supplements twice a day. I keep those in view in the parts of the kitchen that I use the most, every day - so there's no way I can forget to take all that good stuff after breakfast and dinner that makes such a difference to my health. I'm a visual person and I also live a lot in my head visualising and planning - I have ideas cruising up in the sky like hot air balloons. I'm getting better at grounding those ideas and I will now implement a strategy to keep the amazing opportunity of this site on my visual radar.
Instead of putting my laptop away after use (I'm a tidy person), I will keep it out on the table overnight with a view to doing some online training for an hour before work when I work from home 2 days a week and follow that with an hour after I log off from work on those days...and sack off the idea of trying to do online training when I've travelled into the office for 2 hours that day + have done a 10 - 12 hour working day...I'm not Superworman but I am a super worman ;). At the weekend I can get 2 hours of online training in each day after breakfast or split between that and the afternoon . And that is good enough. To be fair for me, that will be amazing.
Hope this helps anyone else who finds themself in a similar situation.
All the best

I completely agree that it is quite fair to say that is "good enough". Killing yourself by working until you are beyond exhausted doesn't help, and the product created when that exhausted usually is not quality either. You've found a good schedule that works for you! That's perfect!
Thank you!
