Comments on: What I’m into (April edition) https://lauravanderkam.com/2017/04/im-april-edition/ Writer, Author, Speaker Tue, 17 Apr 2018 14:00:33 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: Lily https://lauravanderkam.com/2017/04/im-april-edition/#comment-34478 Tue, 04 Apr 2017 03:05:54 +0000 http://lauravanderkam.staging.wpengine.com/?p=6589#comment-34478 If you have time, a much appreciated topic for a future post (or link to past posts) would be how to juggle multiple projects as a freelancer without dropping balls. And/or how not to take on too much in life in general. I seem to have an incredible ability to get overloaded. I’m not stressed out, just annoyed at my ability to start with 5 balls in the air, turn them in 50, and then inevitably drop many… Forward scheduling doesn’t work because things never arrive exactly when they’re meant to. One project runs early, one runs late, a AMAZING opportunity comes up, I lose a day to a cold, and all of a sudden it’s traffic jam central (mixing metaphors here!) I know the usual tips to take deep breaths, prioritize, just say no etc. but I feel like there must be some system or skill that I need to learn to avoid this problem! (It’s time tracking, isn’t it. I really need to get better at time tracking…)

We have had the mildest winter. Only 2 days were below 32 and that was late afternoon. (Winters in the South can be notoriously unpredictable.) As such, we need new spring wear because we never really transitioned into winter clothes. You could buy a coat here for a song. Stores can’t give them away. My youngest child is the Houdini. He’s also the reason we don’t have a coffee table, a ceiling fan, and a whole lot of other things.

I think there were probably 1000+ miles on that pair . . oh well. The new ones feel like pillows. That said I’m all about ordering an older model online.

Those boots look super serious.

Cauliflower is shockingly delicious when roasted!

@Byrd- I was perfectly happy with the existing series but it’s funny how everyone stops making a series after a while. I would think most runners would be perfectly happy to keep buying a product they like, exactly as it is, until the end of time.

@Louise – they can be little Houdinis. It’s scary.

Although I might still be on 8s or maybe even (blush) 7s, not having run much in the last 2 years with being pregnant / new mama. Good to hear the new series is still ok!
