Juggling Everything 🤡

Hello!

I hope you're still out there being amazing in everything you do. As for me? Well, I'm not so sure anymore. Don't get me wrong—doings dey, but whether it's amazing is up for debate.

By God's grace, things have picked up speed these past few months, and my plate is overflowing. Part of this is thanks to my faulty PC, which is chugging along at its own pace, far from what I'm used to. But hey, what can I do? 😭

I've also been on the move a lot, spending time with loved ones and friends—the usual post-NYSC enjoyment. But during one of these hangouts, I noticed something interesting.

We were chatting, and my friends started talking about how they felt bad for getting so much sleep at night. They felt like they were wasting time, like they should be doing more.

I smiled, but inside, I was feeling a bit lost. You see, I live and sleep like I’m a millionaire, even though I haven’t reached that level of success yet. It bothered me because I’m living as if I’m light years ahead of them, but the reality is different.

So, I shared this with another friend who was part of the conversation. I told him I get it—I’ve tried pulling those super long work hours, but I just can’t do it.

He said he’d tried too but couldn’t manage it either. But what he does do is keep moving forward, no matter how long it takes. Whether it’s in two minutes or 20 hours spread out, he just keeps going.

I’ve been trying this for a few days, and guess what? I’ve managed to get two articles out the door, office work is running smoothly, finished one side gig, and still found time to be with my family.

The truth is, juggling multiple tasks is tough. It leaves your brain scattered, and trust me, you don’t want that. As a result, I’ve been taking naps whenever I can, just to keep my mind clear.

I’m dealing with this now, but in a couple of weeks, I hope to have most of my obligations cleared up. How about you? How do you handle juggling tasks? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Music

As I wrote this episode, I was vibing to Lungu Boy (Album) by Asake and No Love in Lagos (Album) by Show Dem Camp x Cavemen and Nsikan David.

These projects are something special, and I’m loving the vibe. You can check them out too.

Movies

You’ve got to check out Bloodhounds. I’m not usually into Kdramas, but my little brother put me on this one, and I enjoyed watching it with him.

It’s got action with a touch of comedy. I think you’ll love it too!

Until next time, keep being awesome! Godspeed, gang!
