Added 2022-10-31 17:28:34 +0000 UTCIf anyone has tips for balancing 3 jobs let me know. Shooting all the things tomorrow after being with my parents for halloween. Iβve had this platform for multiple years, I have always been on time until this specific year and I have been able to manage everything without burnout, but after I left my fiance this year, Iβm trying to make everything work on my own and itβs spreading me thin. At my best, this is lucrative and fulfilling, but I think I may have to consider quitting if my other jobs are taking up so much time. The days Iβm not working all day Iβm pouring time into my friendships and support systems so I donβt absolutely lose my mind. I feel so much disappointment surrounding these platforms now when I used to be so proud and excited to build them up and now I simply canβt make the time for the little things Iβm passionate about. I feel like a burnt out workhorse this year and I wish I could go back in time when I was able to pursue this full time and when I had so much fun with it. I miss the cons and I miss the shoots and I miss the community I had. I feel like I ran my passions into the ground and I donβt know how to get it all back and I miss it so much.

Iβm sure many have suggested it. But just make a list/figure out what NEEDS or SHOULD get done. And cross reference with things that bring you the most enjoyment/fulfillment and see what overlaps. Needs get done first obviously, but of those what brings you the most enjoyment/fulfillment? Focus on that as a motivator. Get stuff done that you dislike the most first so maybe you have something to look forward to. After that are the SHOULDsβ¦ in which case you tackle the stuff you love the most and as time allows hit everything else. Also sometimes having things you know you donβt want to sacrifice can help. If youβre stuck with a decisionβ¦ thereβs a psychological trick to that. Flip a coin. One side yes the other no. Commit to that answer, your basic feeling toward that answer, whether it be acceptance or rejection, actually ends up helping you make the decision independent of the coin result. The coin ends up being an outside force we sometimes need to just MAKE a decision. Hope this helps and actually makes sense.
