OK. So, maybe you do too. What to do? Well, there is the 90 to 10 ratio touted by nutritionists. It suggests, if 90 per cent of my diet is healthy foods, and 10 per cent is fun foods, the odds are that I should be eating well, rather than the way I am eating right now.
How about 75:25? What does that ratio have to do with anything?
It has to do with the idea that finding a good balance in your occupation or worklife is by, i.e. doing what you love, and can do easily and well.
The harsh reality is this. Whether it is being a Superstar, or being Superman, driving a taxicab, or piloting a pontoon, being a parent or being a puppeteer, no job is worry-free or stress-free 100% of the time. There is probably always something in your worklife that "gets your goat!"
I love my worklife and have fun most of the time being a radio DJ/and music instructor. Still, since I have ADHD, keeping track of phone calls and notes, being punctual, doing paperwork, dealing with stressors and schedules is NOT my strong suit in either job.
I know I can't expect my worklife to be always 100 percent easy and fun, even though I wish that were true. However, I know if 75 percent of my work is Fun! Fun! Fun! and 25% is Drudge! Drudge! Drudge! then I will get by!
Peace, and pancakes,
