There are times when it seems things are moving but you seem to be stuck at the same spot or not moving as fast as you would like to be. I had a moment to seat and reflect about this. I was feeling restless again; I seem to be constantly struggling and always tired. Although the environment is a contributing factor to this there was a role I was playing as well. My time management skills needed some improvement. As I researched on this I would like to share some of the lessons I have picked up along the way.
