Flamboyant Flower Float

A fancy schmancy (but meaningless) post title for yesterday's entry.
(I'm doing a 30-Day Writing Challenge and I sorta failed already and it's just Day 2. Hahaha!)
As to what triggered this post...
It's how I have been feeling for the past few weeks.
I feel like I'm drowning with work and responsibilities, yet I feel fabulous and in control.
But totally inefficient and phony, half assing everything in my life.
...
The life of a freelancer mombie who's trying to be an entrepreneur is a roller coaster.
I mean I'm happy because...
my mentor mentioned me in his webinar and it was beautiful. Husband and Eunice were staring at me goofily smiling. (But then I have to work on another post this weekend)...
Then a past client who has told me he wants to work with me (premium and ideal client) messaged me on Skype. Told me the deal's still on after their app re-design (That's additional work. But additional money. I didn't send a follow up email after a while because as I have said, I feel like I'm drowning na.)
I nailed a DC, sent a proposal and the guy has no budget restrictions! I'm confident I can close it, but again. I'm not sending a follow up because I sorta like Netflix. And that's an inbound lead when my uber supportive tribe tagged me endlessly in a thread.
But then, I'm feeling inefficient and actually unproductive and a slacker because...
I can't finish client work before the deadline. I'm always a buzzer-beater and it's tiring.
I only have 2 clients right now, 2 part-time.
And I'm hoping this will be the start of my passive income journey.
Then, I'm cooking up 2 business ideas with friends.
And I can't even seem to start with them.
I told myself I'm going to lie low on client work. Keep who I have...
And focus on this business. It's an artsy biz by the way, so it's also going to be my therapy.
I mean, I have a lot to do.
And yet, I have time for Netflix (when breastfeeding baby). Or at 1AM in the morning after the draining day.
I think I'm just tired.
And I need to outsource more.
And really be clear with what I want.
And really pray for discernment.
