I haven’t had a haircut in more than a year- I was telling M. as we rode our bikes on our way to home. The conversation progressed with numerating how many things we haven’t accomplished in a while. We both agreed at the moment we shuffle a lifestyle that perhaps would characterize us as overachievers. During one week we work, socialize (at least we try to see all our friends), exercise, manage a household and blog. It is actually a lot isn’t it?! Then how come other people manage to perform more? How do they do it?
One would suggest excellent organization skills and sacrifice mundane everyday activities such as sleeping and self-cooked warm meals. I am working on the first and can’t (won’t give up) on the last. Most of you who read my blog are bloggers as well, I would love to read how to guys manage your time. So far I’ve sacrificed couch time, I do not watch any series (shocking I know) and reading. I suppose I’ll have to watch Game of Thrones when I retire. Honestly it is not a hardship and I wouldn’t want this post to be perceived as a complain, blogging does make me happy. The point I would like to make is, one always find time to do what one loves. The rest is simply excuses…
P.S Last night we spend the time watching behind the scenes of Benedict Cumberbatch acting Smaug in Hobbit (AMAZING), as I said no hardship at all.

Wow Tatjana mou!!!! I am amazed by your elegance and these photos! Amazing look, and I love these shoes with the black opaque tights! I totally feel you, same here with us and Anestis. Honestly last week I felt such pressure and anxiety because of lack of free time, so I reset my priorities. For a week now I spend more time for myself and the people I love, reading my books again, and honestly I feel more contented and work more productively than the previous weeks! I would never expect that and I am so pleasantly surprised! 🙂 And also promised myself to enjoy more of the blogging journey! But you are right, time management can be tricky and overwhelming some times for an over achiever like you! You guys do an amazing job though! :))
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, each and every post is a pleasure to read my dear Tatjana!
Have a great week!

I usually like to write down all I have to do in the morning and I set a timer for each task. I also add a “reward” in between each couple of tasks. It helps stay focused!

This is such a great point you came up with T.! I have always a lot of things on my to-do list and I think the most important thing is managing your time well. However, it always needs those breaks as well. I think after a little pause you can focus much better on the things you have to do 🙂

I adore your coat & dress. As far as blogging, it is difficult, just like any creative endeavor. The important thing is to not compare ourselves to others. We each have our own organization methods & time management tricks, we just have to find a system that works for us. I use a bullet journal & it’s helped me keep track of blog post ideas & more. :]

I just discovered you blog, and this post had me captivated! Wonderful photos, and also thanks for sharing your thoughts! Blogging takes a lot of time and energy, which is why only a handful of people are serious about it. For me personally, I think the most important aspect is consistency – sometimes my schedule gets messed up but it’s important that I get right back on track!

You look gorgeous! I love that coat, it looks so warm, and as always your pictures are stunning! Time management is hard for me too, though I’ve found that since starting my blog back up I have been so much happier even though busier. I balance work and school and some days it just feels like I never stop running around! That’s one reason I think blogging is so important. It’s so easy for work and life to kind of suck up our creativity, so we have to let it out somehow! Time is a crazy thing, I guess we just have to try and make the most of it! 🙂

Alas, I feel there are two things taking up much of our valuable time. And they are: mobile phones and cars. We/I spend too many hours a week in traffic jams.
With mobile phones there is an urgency to reply immediately. Where as when we received old fashions letters, after reading them would put them on the mantle piece, and reply, days or weeks later.
You have nailed it on the head. We always have time to do what we love most. And I always have time to read your blog. In fact, I would be lost without it.
I can only get a glimpse of your dress. But I love that print. Sooo pretty. And that photo of you with the leaf is excellent.
Kisses, Jo

Beautiful green coat and marvellous pictures.
Well what can i say… I do laundry at night, have one day for cooking 80% of what we eat during the week, don’t go out of my way for pictures, Sunday nights I prepare at least 3 outfits along with the accessories… oh and of course I dont exercise 😦

I love how honest you are in your posts. I do a lot of freelance work, so for me, I really need to create strict boundaries around the time I spend online. Otherwise, I’d spend the entire day in front of my PC. I try to break it up with walks, cooking, and cleaning. Otherwise, I lose my focus and productivity.

I would know how not to be honest on my blog and talk about superficial things on my blog. I am just a normal person who tries to be happy Mariet. Working as a freelancer must need require such a hard discipline. I could learn a thing or two from you girl. For example how do you block the other pages and do some actual work?
