‘I’ve found that balance isn’t about an even split between my different roles, but when I focus on finishing over doing things the way I envision.’
‘I do think balance as it’s portrayed (equal time and attention among all your roles) is bullshit. I believe in balanced moments, where you accept a certain level of chaos and find peace and presence within them.’
So appreciate this perspective on the elusive balance we are all supposed to be aiming for!!!
Just found you via Olivia Muenter, and so excited to be a regular reader. I’m obsessed with the Aurelian Cycle and convinced my partner to read it so we could discuss.
Awesome!! I have found that balance is SO important as well. Making a professional and personal to do lists every day has been so effective. I write on my personal list items with time frames, like meditation, exercise, planning and when I can squeeze in a nap if possible. It has helped ensure that my peace of mind and SeLF is just as important as any work related items.
Loved reading your “little moments” :) You inspire me to know it’s possible to one day be a mom and still be a creator. Thank you, Hitha! (Also, omg, I’m buying those rifle journals ASAP)
Oh wow, I just saw one of your instagram feeds and notice that you are coming to SXSW in March 2025. That is the city in which I live. Annie Prasad: aaaprasad@hotmail.com
Look forward to hearing from you offline, Hitha. Would love to show you around my city. Have lived here for 13 years and around the world for 22 years before arriving here...
These two quotes positively reached out to me:

I’m so glad this spoke to you! I’m trying to remind myself of them this week.

THE HOLD THIS BOOK HAS ON ME!
The doing the thing versus doing it the way I envisioned... oh boy, yes. I can relate to this so much.
Loved this post, Hitha. And so good to see you on Saturday! Thanks again for coming <3
THANK YOU for having me! It was such a special event to be a part of, and here’s to more of them!

I love the idea of a personal to-do list - thank you for sharing Emily!

You can do all the things (just be flexible on how it looks). Sending you my love and another endorsement for these amazing notebooks!
