Workaholicus Enthusiasticus

I’ve never been a productivity master (and God knows almost killed myself on numerous occasions trying to become one!) but a highly productive day by my current standards is when I managed to take a shower. And it’s surprisingly fine.

I suddenly see how much simply doesn’t need to be done to begin with, how unnecessary so many actions and even words really are.

Having Nikolai certainly took an edge off and turned me from a workaholicus enthusiasticus into a (dare I say) more balanced, chilled kind of a creature;

My husband is out with the baby and I suddenly have half an hour to myself, so what do I do? I rush to the to-do list, but everything on it suddenly seems equally unimportant.

This is probably the closest to enlightenment I’ve ever been, being (re)born together with my own baby.

I hope I get to keep this inner peace when I properly re-emerge into the outside world as a mother - still focused and driven, but this time round hopefully on the right things.

I certainly prefer this version of “Alina” software.

P.S. Every time I wash my hair I get surprised by how long it’s become (which gives you an idea of how frequently I’ve had the pleasure since the little one was born), although that is one area where I would actually like to improve my stats!
