Juggling Priorities: Wins, Challenges, and Staying Balanced

14th May 2024: I have so many things to do. But let's first celebrate the wins.

User registration and commenting is enabled on https://bevansbench.com. It was quite an ordeal, involving setting up a mail server on my host and integrating it with Docker. But it's done! That's a step in the right direction.

There is still so much to do, and I want to share this journey with you:

* I'm planning to create a blog post, and maybe even a video, about enabling comments on my site. If you're into tech, stay tuned!

* I need to download today's Trivia presentation, familiarize myself with it, and host Pub Trivia at the Illawong Hotel in Evan's Head. Any trivia fans here?

* There's an episode of the Code-n-Character podcast to download and edit. Any podcasters here have with editing tips?

* The 30-day talk-to-the-camera retrospective/14-day story challenge introduction is mostly planned. Who's interested in a sneak peek?

* I'm keen to integrate ChatGPT4 with an online to-do list. AI enthusiasts, what are your thoughts?

* Among all this, I want to keep creating smaller content pieces, like this one. What type of content would you like to see more of?

* As my Google Drive is 99% full, I'd like to set up OwnCloud on my VPS and move much of my data, videos, and photos across. Anyone else dealt with storage issues?

* And let's not forget all the housekeeping, organizing, tweaking of workflows, software, processes, and life in general.

Here are some strategies I've been using to manage my time and priorities, especially when things get overwhelming:

= Eisenhower Matrix =

This tool helps me categorize tasks based on urgency and importance. For example, preparing for tonight's trivia is urgent and important, while planning future content is important but not urgent. This matrix helps me focus on what truly matters.

= Mindfulness and Self-Care =

Despite the busyness, I make sure to get outside daily and review my choices for my mental health. It's essential to find balance and avoid burnout.

In the midst of all this, I haven't played guitar at home in months. Any fellow musicians with tips on balancing hobbies and work?

Also, tomorrow I'm attending a 1.5-hour Vinh Yang masterclass. Who's excited about learning and growth?

There is so much to do! And everything I do exponentially generates even more. How do you manage your priorities?
