After 3 weeks of working full-time, I just couldn’t take it anymore. I flat out quit my job – a first time I have ever left a job without a 2 weeks notice. But I felt that I couldn’t work another day let alone 14.

It wasn’t the job or the people that I worked for. In fact I probably would have enjoyed it but I like being a housewife. I like being at home with my daughter. Soon she will be in school, so for now I just want to focus in on spending time with her and getting our very small business off the ground.

Even though I only worked for three weeks, I learned a lot. I learned that even if you don’t have distractions tasks usually take longer than you plan. I always felt that I could get way more done if I wasn’t distracted. Now I know that even without distractions I need to have realistic goals. Working was a good reality check for me. I’m not ready for full-time work and need to be better at time management and goal setting. Hopefully what I’ve learned in three weeks will help me be more efficient and productive.
