Today I had the honour of being the person who writes the ‘Best and Worst’ over at Mamamia.
It’s a really surreal feeling to be writing something that is so well-known around the MM traps, something that tonnes of people comment on – it’s all about sharing the best and worst of your week.
My best? MM for sure. Mamamia is amazing, Mia even more so.
My worst? Realizing I can’t do everything. I had a mini (okay huge) attack of the hysterics last night when it became obvious not everything was going to get done.
It was hard, I’m not going to lie. And my best friend Beck found a million ways to say the same thing: calm down.
Something gave and while I’m still not happy about it, nothing can be done about it and so I have to live with it.
It’s a huge lesson. And one I probably had to learn. As everyone knows I tend to do too much, and while I knew August would be insane, I thought I could handle it.
So now I’m learning how to breathe again.
What’s the hardest lesson you’ve had to learn?
Yes, Megan breathe!! You’re doing great. I’m just starting to learn that lesson now. You can’t do it all but what you do is wonderful! Smile. And breathe. And keep writing.
Er, can’t come up with anything on the theme of hardest lesson to learn, but I am glad you’re having a good time, and learning lots. I do know that learning lessons about yourself are some of the most valuable lessons to learn.
Best bit of advice I got (from Pete actually) was ‘Do less – and do it better’. Made me really mad at the time because I knew it was right. But it has really helped. I also really like (thanks Anne) ‘Under promise and over deliver’ – still working on that one.
