Today I spoke to Bisser Stoykov, a friend I met through my previous job. He recently completed his Masters in Career Management and Coaching and amazingly offered me some free career coaching. I've had three sessions now and last time we went through a really helpful life-line exercise and today we went through a skills assessment tool to help determine what types of careers would be a good fit for me. I've found the sessions so helpful. I think it's the first time I've taken time to explore in-depth with someone else about myself and what I want out of my career. He's really good at coaching and it'll be exciting to see where his career path takes him next.
His gut reaction was to recommend coaching or marketing and communication roles and I do think I would enjoy those things and will definitely explore them as options. I think the professional organizer idea will incorporate all of those things as well so it's still the idea I'm most excited by at the minute. I didn't have time to work on my business plan today though and am thinking I will probably wait till next week to dig into that deeply as the girls go back to school then and I'll have more time to think and concentrate. I'm just making sure I do something every day towards that goal.
My days feel very full at the moment. Everything seems to take longer than I think it will. We're trying to redo the kids bedrooms and I've spent a lot of time looking at furniture, picking out paint and carpet and living with the chaos of them not being able to sleep in their bedrooms at the moment. They are both sleeping in the room off our kitchen that we call the cozy room. It's normally my favourite room in the house and I use it to work in and think. It's where I do my God time in the mornings and it's a friendly room with windows that overlook our garden. At the moment it's just a big mess. It makes me realise how much order and having calm spaces is important to me. When I can't put things away properly, it really drives me crazy.
I just had more decision overload by ordering stuff on IKEA's website so my brain is tired tonight. I'll end with my quote for today from James Clear, "It's better to do less than you hoped than nothing at all. No zero days." I love James Clear and highly recommend his hugely quotable email subscription.
My photo for today is a hideous snapchat filter one of me not coping with the chaos! It's so hideous it's strangely fascinating.
