Missing Out

So today I have had miss one of our biggest events of the year at Silent River Kung Fu “The Pandamonium” 24 hours of Kung Fu. Work as of lately has been preventing me from participating and from being as engaged in Kung Fu as much as I usually am.  This is the first time that I have not been able to participate in the Pandamonium since it began. All day I was wishing I could be there at the Kwoon instead of being at work.

Losing Time

With work demanding more of my time lately, I am finding it hard to get in a bare minimum of practice time. Even the few minutes here and there that a person finds during the day between tasks at work or in the evening are getting fewer and fewer. This year is definitely going to test my time management skills.

Pulled Apart

This week has been one of the busiest weeks that I have had in my life time. Work, home and Kung Fu all have demanding more of my time then is normal. Unfortunately I am having to miss the Tai Chi class and the Kwoon clean up today. But I due a sense of accomplishment of this week, that being as busy as I have been that I have been able to maintain all aspects of my life and not let any part suffer. The sad part about it is that this pace that I am currently at to be able to do everything this week that is required of me is not sustainable and I am going to have to cut back before I burn my self out and then everything is going to suffer. Or I could get my self cloned.

“Juggling” Something is going to Fall

The act of juggling ones priorities and commitments can be an exhausting and sometimes frustrating endeavour. 

Between home life, work and Kung Fu my days are extremely busy with very little idle time where I am not actually engaged in doing something. When one area in my life requires more of my time than usual the other areas always seem to have to suffer.

Unfortunately I must say that it is my Home life that suffers the most, it is the easiest to let down.

In the past I had taken a different position at my work that allow me to spend more time at home and to do Kung Fu, it also meant taking a major drop in pay, but it has served me well without regrets. But these next two months are going to extremely difficult for me to manage all of the areas of my life equally, since I have given extra responsibilities at work that are going to demand more of my time than usual, outside of a normal working day. The two other areas in my life are going to feel the impact of it, already I have had to miss some scheduled Kung Fu classes to deal with a work issue that suddenly cropped up and that has had a very negative result in my participation on the demo team. Also I am unable to commit to my participation in our Pandamonium event this year, I am hopping to be able to show up for some part of it.

Its just I am very frustrated at this time for letting my team mates down, and not being part of the demo team by being forced to miss one class because of work.
