You sound really busy, how do you fit it all in?
Working mum, full time specialist in my company, STEM ambassador, advanced motorcyclist, mentor..
I ask for help! I cannot do everything, so I employ a cleaner. I have a good relationship with my endocrinologist, my GP and my pharmacist, who help me to keep alive.
I do plan. I do prioritise. Sometimes, I have to say, not today, how about tomorrow/next week/next month?
I get three days a financial year from my employer which I use to be a STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) . I get to say which things I do, and as time is precious I do pick the big bang things. The sessions I’ve really enjoyed have been talking about what it is like to work as a software engineer, computer scientist or a manager in my company.
For me, as a youngster starting out and making the choices about subjects, college versus university, A levels versus BTEC, apprenticeship versus job versus further and higher education, would have been invaluable. I should have left school at 16 but thought my only real choices were A levels.
There are always choices: it is up to us what we do with our time!
For me those priorities are my family, my work, my friends and then everything else. To allow me to do that, I take care of my body and my mind.
Have a happy new year!
