Which burner do I cut off?
- Work: Immediate no. I need the source of income. Part of developing myself is devoted to my professional career and learning and just taking it all in. I can't outsource this because it's something I have to do myself. There is no shortcut.
- Health: I would if I could but I can't so I won't. Of all the categories, I feel like if I could neglect this, I would. But I physically cannot. Without maintaining my health, I cannot fully perform the functions needed in the other categories. So this category is almost intrinsic to the others. You can't help others until you help yourself.
- Family: It's sad that this isn't an immediate no. But without this, I wouldn't know who I am or what I stand for anymore. I feel like I've already minimized this category all that I can without completely losing the essence of it. I rarely see family members that I used to see weekly (partially because of current circumstances and partially because of "growing up").
- Friends: I feel like this is the one I've been neglecting the most. "Friends" have been bringing up this topic more often? I don't feel like I've completely lost connections and I'm content with my amount of friendship exposure, but I guess others feel otherwise. With regards to the other categories, this is the only one I'm willing to compromise on, so I guess I'll just have to deal with the consequences.
