That 30 day thing....
Some book I once read, maybe Steven Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, said that if you purposefully try something for 30 days, it will become a habit. Now, I know in some aspects that is true - I also know I can drop a good habit (like exercise) even after accomplishing it for several months. But yet, today, the 30 day thing is of a little concern.
I am sure you are just dying to know why, so let me share a bit of my week's journey with you. I have started to work part-time. Just 20 hours a week, on a flexible schedule, until about the end of the year......and, well, that's over 30 days!
Do you think it may be possible that I will excel at balancing all things in life, during the holidays, while working a bit, so well that I will want to make it a permanent aspect of my life??? Yeah, I'm not thinking so either, but you really never know.
I do know that I will either become the most organized person in the world - watch out Martha Stewart - or that I will have to let some things "slide".
Maybe I will just hire a housekeeper!
