Sixty sixth week-Putting it all together while trying to remain sane

I noticed that the past two weeks that I have been putting off writing this blog until the end of the week. I think that is probably a sign that things are starting to improve. I am now in the process of putting all the many facets of my working life together. Yes, I am working. I do have to remind myself and others that I am working even though I am not getting paid. I do spend each morning, either job searching on-line, writing and reading e-mails and reading articles.

I know I am a bit stressed out, but that's due to the fact that I am taking on too much with the three projects I am committed to completing. Two of them will help me in my quest for employment because they will showcase my newly acquired skills of networking, public relations and event planning. The other one I will not be too much involved with...but could also help with acquiring employment. With all three projects I am learning to prioritize, delegate and let go...the letting go is the hardest part. If you like to have control of all aspects of things, it's not easy to trust others to do what you need them to do. You want to do it all yourself. You can't.

You can't for a number of reasons. People will only do what they're capable of doing and have the talent to do. You can't force someone to do what they're not capable of doing. You have to delegate because you want to utilize the talents they do have, and you don't. I am admittedly not good with design and public relations. I assigned that to someone else. I often wish I could assign the sales portion of trying to find employment to someone else as well. Unfortunately I can't do that. I am who I am. No one can represent me as I can.
