I made a small resolution a while back: say “Yes” more often to friends and family, say “No” sometimes at work. Not that my colleagues or school are unreasonably demanding, it’s just that recently I realised how many friends I hadn’t seen or contacted for far too long.
I managed the first part of my resolution brilliantly yesterday. An unexpected invitation from a friend that I hadn’t seen in ages led to a pleasant afternoon catching up and chilling out. That’ll be a “Yes” then.
Naturally this has led to me working ridiculously late this evening. I’m not getting the hang of this work – life balance thing. Must try harder.
9.30 pm – I’ve just finished one essential piece of work. Only two more to go tonight.
