I had a terrible day today!
Yes, I know: Usually I am the one who gives advice on how to get motivated here. But today, I hope to get some support from you.
At work (i.e. my main job), I have to finish a very important project by Wednesday - another much bigger project can only start if I finish in time. So I went to the office though I have a terrible headache today.
As usual these past days, I found an email in my inbox this morning, causing another delay in my project. So I passed the first few hours trying to solve that new problem before I could even start to do what I had planned to do.
Coming home, my youngest addressed me with a problem at school. One of her teachers stopped talking to her - apparently he is convinced that she ignores him anyway, so he does no longer answer her questions. Understandably, my daughter wants me to go and see that teacher to solve that problem for her.
One of my sidejobs is to take care of the website of a local advertising agency - and they called me tonight because somehow most of the images of their references have disappeared from their homepage. And of course it's important for them that potential customers can see their work. So I have to take care of this problem as soon as possible ...
And I should actually work at least two hours for my other sidejob - otherwise I will have to do a lot of work again on the weekend. I won't find the time for this, though, because my ex-husband asked me to help him with a presentation for an important meeting tomorrow.
I'd really like to tell you that this is not a problem at all, that I divide the task into baby steps, and that I take breaks to keep up the motivation. But hey ... I just don't want to do anything tonight ...
I really need all those jobs to be able to pay for all the bills - for me and my three kids. And I really have to help my former husband because if he loses his job, he won't be able to pay a single dime of child support ...
But sometimes I just feel that it is too much for one person, to much for one day, to much for ME.

I can certainly understand why you are feeling overwhelmed! All I can do is wish you luck and send a hug and a !tip.
Thank you so much for your answer. I feel much better today. The headache is gone, so it's much easier to concentrate. This morning, I feel quite confident that I will finish that project by tomorrow and once that's done, I will no longer be under so much pressure. :)
I I'm glad that your headache is gone and that you are feeling much better. I hope that everything goes smoothly from here on out!
