What's that Paige? Have you already made it so big you quit your day job and now blog full time?
Ha ha ha! Regrettably
no. I still work a regular job eight to nine hours a day but I manage to
squeeze in enough not working time to blog too. I'm not proud that though. Also, as a side note I want to mention that this is my first post in four
months. I’m amazed I even opened my blog
back up, but good ol’adhd kicked in and I got terribly bored and was
desperate for mental stimulation.
I figured I could get a laugh out of checking my analytics. See how many people viewed my blog since I last checked in. Surprisingly the most views came just a month ago. At just ten views my guess is search bots, but who knows?
I’ve actually had this post saved as a draft for the entire four months I’ve been gone. I figured if I started it then I’d be more inclined to finish it. But my desire is a fickle thing and was fleeing to a new interest shortly after hitting the save button; even if I was not yet aware.
But I’ve digressed from the point of this post entirely now. I have the luxury of having a computer for use at work, and a job that has me at my desk for at least half of the day. So while I am squeezing my writing in I can't help but wonder how much more efficient I could be. There is an argument about how much of ones time at work should be spent actually working. I think many of us feel it's not possible to be working ALL of the time, a minute here or there talking with a fellow associate, spending a few extra minutes in the bathroom, etc. But am I balancing my work/ not work time well? Probably not.
Should I care though? I work for a nation-wide company. I'm just a number to them and they'd replace me in a second and pay someone less to do the same work. And according to this very thorough and scientifically reliable study the four hours of work that I complete on average is about on par to your average office worker in the UK. So maybe I shouldn't be so hard on myself?
