Time Management is not always the answer

Pin It
People always say that I lack time management when it comes to work.  I everyday came late to work.  Why?

  1. Baby wakes up around 7:00am to 8:00am.  I wake up the same time he wakes up.  Baby might wake up earlier that 7:00am.
  2. I stay with baby, play and take care of him up to about 8:30am to 9:30am.  That's the time when my mother-in-law is ready to take care of Ivan.
  3. And again, play with Ivan.  There are times when my mother-in-law needs some more time for some task.
  4. Goes to the office.
  5. Back to home and have dinner.
  6. No rest. Take care of Ivan. Make Ivan sleep.
  7. Should be doing some house hold chores are is really sleepy.
Now tell me, how would I manage my time when I have a baby?  It's now 2:00 am and my baby asked for milk.  I think it's the best time to wash my clothes and go back to sleep.  We don't have a maid anymore.  And I haven't wash the dishes after my dinner!!!

I don't have a good life. I can't even go out to the malls and have shopping like other mommies out there.  And I don't have a work that compensates good salary that makes me more sad.

I stopped caring for my work.  It felt like an endless problem of task that I need to solve.  And yet, I felt like my career is making me crazy literary because I have to accept the fact that I wouldn't have a good compensated work against all the work I'm doing.

I lack time management they say, many people say.  And now, because I stopped caring for my work, I also stopped believing that I am an average good programmer.

Such is the life of a parent :) Napaisip ako about my own life dito sa post mo.

Since having our baby, we've been late to doctor's appointments, church, parties. We're getting better at this now, pero nadadale pa rin kasi even if we start preparing to leave the house extra early, pag last minute gustong kumain edi magpapakain ka rin - alangan i delay mo ang kain ng baby, diba ?

Nowadays, we just don't commit to anything, especially when it comes to time.

Housechores / housework has been piling up too, di rin namin maasikaso. One of these days, we're going to have to hire a maid - maski ilang oras lang - just to catch up. Ang gastos!

Career-wise, wala na akong trabaho. SAHM ako. So career ? ano yun ?

Strangely enough, happy naman ako (pag hindi bugnutin due to lack of sleep). Fulfilling naman maging mommy, diba ?

yeah super fulfilling, kaso itong anak ko, mag 2 years old na, humihingi pa ren ng milk every 3 hours, as in walang palya!

pero ok lang sa akin, love ko baby ko, eh ayaw nya talaga ng water eh,and nagwawala pag di ko binigyan ng milk.

iba na talaga tingin ko sa sarili ko pag dating sa career, kung dati confident akong makakakuha ako ng new job within 15 days, and basta type ko yung lugar nung company, apply lang ako. ngayon nag iisip ako, mag aapply ba ako or hindi, iba na promise

ayon nga sa mama ko, kahit gaanong kagaling programmer raw ako, pag nagkababy ako, mababali-wala ren hahaha. eto na, nagkakatotoo na, parang sumpa haha, pero ganun ata talaga
