haste makes waste

I did some thinking during my ride this morning. I'm killing myself to get my work, portfolio, and move-related things in order... at least trying to synch it all up to happen at the same time. That's one problem I've always had living in New York, trying to do too many things at once. I think in retrospect, I've rushed through life doing just that. As a result, I've worn myself down tremendously. And so, I've decided to slow down, and do one thing at a time. To eliminate the stress of trying to rush a portfolio together, I've decided to use the month of September to look for a job, not in August. I'll still look, but the pressure won't be on. Isn't the point of moving to SF to slow down my pace and to rethink my approach anyway? So the first week of August while I'm with Dennis, I'll just focus on apartment shopping. Move in will be September, but the job can happen in October, leaving me a whole month to prepare for job stuff while I settle into my apartment. It isn't unheard of to take a month break before jumping right into another job anyway right? It will tap into my funds to not have income for the month, but I have to remember that I can always make the money back, and that the important thing is to take care of myself and settle in first. I just need to slow myself down. I become careless and unfocused when I'm rushing through... gotta learn to relax too.
