How the heck....

...do you girls do it?!?!?!

Wedding planning AND full time job?

I am just starting a new internship and I come home exhausted. I have been going to sleep before 10!!!

What's your secret to keeping on top of planning/staying awake long enough to plan!??

Re: How the heck....

it's definitely hard and i hate when work gets in the way. even if it's a hectic day, i try to give myself a few minutes to do sign on, it's my way of unwinding. if i could just win mega and plan full time...

I work full time too and find it hard, its helpful to make a list and make goals for yourself that is not more than you can handle. Just pace yourself and you will be just fine! Its overwhelming to begin with, but as time goes on it gets easier

My work productivity definitely went down at first, but now it's so busy at work I can't spend as much time planning. Have to reserve it for weeknights and weekends, but even that is tough!

I just started driving into queens to get to the city so I don't have to pay for the LIRR and can save that money for our wedding, so on top of working full time, I've added an hour onto my commute. I leave at 5:50 get to work at 7:30, go to the gym for an hour and a half (which is at my job) and the. Work 9-5:30, so free time is a rarity these days.

THANKFULLY I have an amazing FH and he has been doing all of the calling and when I get home gives me a run down of the day, then we go from there.

I haven't been able to sleep lately ... Wedding planning dreams are taking over my mind

Re: How the heck....

Its been tough for me lately. The only thing I can find time for these days is LIW. I haven't contacted any vendors or researched any more photos or spent time looking for stuff on etsy. But at least when I'm on LIW I feel like I'm getting something accomplished. I feel like FH and I are still in the discussion phase about different things, but have to yet to make a solid check on anything. I'm hoping that I can catch up on the weekends, FH can watch football and I can wedding plan. Thankfully I'll be home for the next couple of weekends so I can get some stuff done and hopefully line up some appts for my next trip to LI.

my secret is that I suggest that FH play his video games when I'm in the mood to research or work on the invitation design or something. I get to do my thing and he thinks I'm the best FW ever haha

Work is very slow so I just plan there. There were times I was at home after work and I would just stay up so late.
