So I will say… Today has been a week where I am just trying to do my best in the midst of Overtimes.
It is granted that there were boundaries that I made in order to make sure that I will have an extra day to myself. A day where I can go about and take the time where I can go about and do the studies that I need to do.
But these past few weeks of study have been helpful in catching up with my assessments. Making sure that I am at least a few steps closer towards getting the certification done, and perhaps have the ability to go about and get a better job than I currently have?
I don’t know. What I do know, is that it is going to be easier, but it doesn’t make it completely easy to accomplish.
You see, I know there are so much things I want to accomplish at once.
Change jobs.
Get the finance certification.
Finally be able to drive.
Complete the story I have been working on for at least five years now.
Build my website.
Run my own business.
And hopefully have the chance where I can do it while having enough money to be able to carry on with it all.
But I know it won’t be easy to have so much stacked against me, while also being 100 percent fulfilled a 100 percent of the time. I know that this week in writing this, it has been SO busy. And I know that sometimes, when work is busy, those goals get ridden into the background. Especially when there are multiple twelve hour shifts to do in a row. Which for one, is not an easy feat, and two… It can leave you fatigued and tired by the end of the day. So that is one of the challenges that I am trying to face.
My Story:
My story has been going OK so far. I don‘t have a proper routine per se as to how I am going to accomplish it. But I do know that I am hoping to complete my story by the middle of 2026, where the edit will be finished, I’ll probably go through a first read, then go through scene by scene to edit the story and hopefully it will be available for publishing afterwards.
I will say, each draft I do, it is becoming better. I am getting to know my characters more, evolving to the awesome characters that I think they are today. Yet at the same time, I guess since I’ve gone through the draft nearly 10 times and, it’s becoming to a point where part of me would prefer to let it out to the world sooner rather than later, and…
Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to move on to something else?
So this is the strict final draft with the partial edit and submitting it, no matter how great or awful it is.
My finances:
In terms of my course, I will say that it is providing more complications than I thought.
Maybe I am not the best at it, like my job? But who knows, maybe it’s part of the process of getting better, realising that I forgot some things, in my assessment while still learning how to properly use Excel and how to get a certain total at the end.
I will admit, listening to podcasts and learning things like investing is what got me interested in the course. It doesn’t mean Financial Services + investing are the same thing. But I will admit it is even teaching me from a business/enterepenurial perspective.
Now what would that mean?
I know, it seems a bit far fetched. Taking a course like Financial Services for entrepenureship. But I will say: maybe it’s not too far off.
Creating businesses would not just require you to learn the business and marketing side of things. You’ve got to learn the finance and the legal side as well.
Although it is talking about credit scores, it has taught that you should only spend what you can afford. And if you take too long to pay your credit, whether it is a home loan or credit card, it can lead to a negative credit score. That may exempt you from certain loans if there are too many issues with paying it off.
I would still think I will be behind in this course for a little while, until one of the assessments is fully complete without any issues and I can catch up with this unit’s assessments, to which one is due this coming week.
My parting words.
It’s all still a bit of a mess or a blur as to how it will all turn out. Maybe if I can manage all of the gears right, it will become something that is worthwhile. Or it could crumble and I might not get everything done…?
Well I know that regardless, it will take a while to go about and complete the things that I know I would need to do. But I think at the end of the day, it’ll be worth it.
