I've been trying to enjoy life like I used to, but recently I had a lot of jobs to do. I also want to enjoy earning online again after I finished my jobs. How to enjoy life and manage your times to enjoy life while you have a lot of jobs to do?

backhome: welcome to mylot. Perhaps you were there in mylot earlier and have reentered with the id backhome. interesting. Appreciate yourself for small successes. it may be difficult to get big successes so appreciate whenever you get small victories - like a member giving best response to you, your moving into stars after 100 posts, visiting a temple, visiting a relative.etc.

I used to organize and prioritize which one should be done first. Then checklist for the accomplishments.

You just have to breathe in and take a break. even with all the stuff that you need to do you should never forget to take a break since you might lose it.. A short break won't hurt- also spend time with your family if you are on break..

Actually job is also a part of our life.Therefore,we should learn to enjoy it also.Just relax and sometimes we just can't avoid being at work to fulfill our full life.I just waiting for the day that i really tired and then i would really choose to travel out.

time is always short for people who believe this way. i would suggest you to enjoy your work and that way you would enjoy while working. I love every work i do and sometimes i dont feel the need to do something else to enjoy.

I'm a full time employee and at the same time I'm doing online job. I need extra money to help my family. Every week I make it to the point that I join my friends for a girls night out. I'm so workaholic and sometimes I told myself, I need a break, to unwind. Enjoy the money that I earned.

Yes, this is also a case for me, just as recently I am focusing on my final thesis of postgraduate degree, I am now in the process of fighting for it, I haven't go shopping for nearly a month, everyday I am so busy, sometimes I am a little bit lazy which I think is a bad habbit since we waste a lot of time in doing the valuable things. For me whether we can enjoy life or not does not depend totally on the things we are doing, but depend ourselves, our attitudes towards the busy or pressure, if we have a relax mind, no matter what we are doing we can find a lot of fun and have time to enjoy life.

I think that one of the most important things that you can learn how to do is manage your time effectively, as this means that you would be able to get everything done that you need to without having to be stressed about it. If you have too much to do, you are never going to be able to enjoy your life, so you have to make sure that you split things up into tasks that you can manage, and this means that will be able to reduce that amount of stress that you're experiencing in your time, which means that you should be able to enjoy your life a lot more.

I think that in the end, the enjoyment that we will have is that light at the end of the tunnel that we will strive for. Sure we seem to be going around in circles, in an attempt to get everything done, with more and more work being piled onto the pile. With no obvious end in sight or so it seems. That can be very frustrating and extremely stressful. However, there are going to the end to it. Eventually, it has to happen. Eventually it is just something that can be done. Eventually we will be free. I think that there are times where I just think that in the end, when it is all finished, it will be worth it. When I can collapse right on the chair and then the fun begins. The fun might be short lived. Still there are going to be periods where the work does seem like there is no end in sight.

Hi Backhome, So many things to do yet so little time? Well, I am into that problem as well. I always got home and feel tired, but yet, I still have a lot to do. Sometimes I do think not to sleep, so that I could manage all the things. But, it is just impossible. I am not robot anyway.. So, how do I enjoy my life while I have a lot to do? I just "stop". Stop doing all the things. I take a day or two off from all the things I do. I just let myself lay down my bed and do nothing. Maybe just lay down and watch some movies. In life, sometimes we do need to "Stop", to take a rest and recharge. :)

Doing my sidelines online are the ones I consider my reward after doing my regular job. I sometimes tell myself to finish a job so that you can mylot after.

I basically have the same question. What I did was to get used to it and pretend to enjoy it then after which everything follows. We are not good at it but let us all pretend that we can all handle the things in our feet. Come to think of it.

Well, i am also in has the same situation as yours. But i still enjoy my life by getting online, checking what my friends are up to, and sometimes hang out when i'm off from work. But i enjoy more when i am working because of the environment at my workplace where we are like family and friends. We enjoy doing our work and having jokes and laugh together. Sometimes we even make party at the end of the day so relieve our tension and get back home smiling and missing the workplace. Some of my colleague even stays at work after their shift to hang out there.

I envy you for your being busy and fullness .Once I worked in the Union of Students of my department ,I`m so busy that I often complained .Now,I am waiting for my thesis defending and a job I like .I am free everyday and I feel very void . I want myself to keep busy because I can get a feelling of satisfaction in a busy fettle .

Well, i enjoy doing online job for my extra income and this is fun but sometimes i am tired for working and especially very low income but at least you earn and receive the pay for you

meet up with your friends. on weekends, maybe? This may be very simple but talking with your friends, eating together, watching movies at your friend's home, having someone to release all the stress from work may make you feel like you're still enjoying life, despite the pressure brought about by work.
