I actually used to create a document of my life plan and try to detail out what I want to accomplish each year ahead. I don't do that anymore because my life took too many twists and turns for me to check the appropriate goal off my list at the exact time I planned for it. That was a lesson in and of itself.

While balancing my schedule and energy takes a bit of extra care, I am by no means making my life harder. I am making it BETTER. This is intentional. I have outcomes in mind and I know what it takes to get there.
