I need more inspiration

I know I can do better. I believe that the quality of my output can be increased exponentially if I starve myself of more distractions and focus more on my work.

But I’m trying to find a balance between working and being there for myself and my family. They deserve my love and attention too. I can work extra at night but then what happens to my sleep?

I used to sacrifice my sleep on the altar of success but these days I have decided to get enough rest during the night. My intuition tells me to get healthy sleep but I know I need more time to advance my work.

I feel like I’m in between a rock and a very hard place. 24 hours is no longer enough in a day. I wish it were more but it isn’t. I have to manage my time. I want to read. I want to write. I want to do my office work. I want to spend time with my wife and kids. I want to be rich. But I want balance.

I know I should prioritise but it is easier said than done. This is my reality. The choice is still difficult. I will keep playing the balancing act until I reach an equilibrium. Some things are more important than others. I love my writing and I have decided to create time for it.
