A few months ago, I stumbled upon Project 20-Something through one of their guest posts on Levo League (as a Levo contributor, I try to keep up on posts on the site and connect with the other contributors as much as possible).

When I read the description of Project 20-Something, I obviously wanted to connect with them immediately since I “secretly” want to be a life coach one day! Project 20-Something is “a life, career, and relationship coaching business that exists to help people navigate and overcome quarter-life issues that are typically faced in the late teens, twenties, and early thirties, such as career satisfaction, relationship challenges, and general goal setting.”

I’ve since connected to Kristen, one of the co-founders, and arranged to guest post on their blog about conscious time management. My post is now up on their site!

Conscious Time Management

People often ask me how I have time to blog or make home-cooked meals. Often these questions are prefaced or followed by “I don’t have time for that,” as if I must have extra hours built into my day.

I respond that, for me, those things are priorities. I have made a conscious decision to post on my blog regularly and make healthy, affordable meals because it adds value to my life. It might mean waking up 30 minutes earlier to toss ingredients into my Crockpot, skipping an extra TV episode, or blogging during lunch.

Hey readers- I know no one likes to be asked to vote for contests, but I’m asking you for a quick favor anyway! Sweeps, an organization I’ve been doing some work with is a top 10 finalist in the Phonebooth SMB Innovator Awards and I  would love your help in ensuring that we take home the $2,500 prize money.

Voting runs from December 10-14 and you can vote once per day.

If Sweeps wins the $2,500 prize money, we’ll be giving the entire amount back to the community. How? We’ll use the money to pay our Sweepers to do over 200 hours of needed, lasting work for deserving organizations and people in our communities.

Please vote for Sweeps!

…If I eat a fast food meal instead of a healthy home-cooked meal

…If I don’t blog for a day…or a week

…If I have 1000+ unread items in my Google Reader

…If I miss a few days at the gym

…If I work fewer hours than I should and need to put in some time over the weekend

…If my books are a day overdue at the library

…If every item on my Evernote To Do List isn’t checked off by 5pm

…If there are a few articles of clothing scattered on my bathroom floor

…If I go a few days without tweeting

…If an email goes unanswered for a few hours

Sometimes it seems like the exact system that we develop to keep ourselves sane is the same system that causes us stress. Yes, I work out and eat healthy to feel good, but sometimes even that needs to take the back burner- behind having fun, seeing friends, and living in the moment.

Anddd a bit of reality check humor to lighten the mood:
