FINDING A BALANCE

Balance is necessary for everything we do. Even the universe tries to find balance in the things and that is why it feels natural to balance things up in every sphere of life. I try to do my best in finding a balance in my digital life, especially because I'm not financially liberal enough to spend tremendously on data. Another reason I try to find a balance is because of the feeling it gives. That feeling like you've done your homework and are now ready for school the next day. It's a feeling of satisfaction that comes with fulfilling all digital obligations. Right at the point of writing this post, I'm so tired from the day's activities that I was already dozing off. My eyes are full currently but sleeping without writing isn't an option.

The fact that I will not be able to get a good night's rest and will feel hunted if I allow the next day to meet me here puts me on my toes. If I must admit, finding a balance in anything isn't easy, it comes with a lot of trials and failures of which I've succeeded in some parts but still trying to figure out some parts as well. For someone like me who reads online, studies online and works online, finding a digital balance while trying to create time for self isn't easy. I remember it took me about six months to get to the point where I write everyday, and even after writing everyday, I still ended up flopping at the end of the year bringing all the months of hard work to nothing.

When I wake up in the morning I start my day with my Spotify playlist that has a lot of books in my library. I listen to motivational speakers, writers and podcasts for like one hour before going to work as it brightens my day. On reaching the office, I immediately up my breakfast as I tune on some movies from moviebox to help with the morning work tension. After that I go check on the activities of the servers and websites I'm managing and from there I check on the condition of the ads I'm running which helps me know what I will be working on first for the day. In the early hours of the afternoon I proceed to watch movies again to help calm the tension or I play games or sometimes do both after which I continue with work until I close and go home to start another round of movies and work which I end by writing a post to continue the same routine the next day.
