Am I Selfish for Protecting My Work Time?
Hi, I’m a girl with a lot of big dreams.
I’m randomly sharing one of my thoughts because I’m honestly confused, and I’d really appreciate your perspective.
I’m a very punctual person. When I decide to work on something, I like to finish it at the time I’ve planned.
Today, I was editing a video for my YouTube channel when someone at home kept interrupting me. I got frustrated and went to another family member for some space.
That’s when I was told that I was being selfish and that I should be more flexible because my family also needs my time.
It made me stop and think.
Am I actually being selfish?
I understand that family responsibilities matter. But sometimes I also feel that if I keep putting my work aside whenever someone needs something, I’ll never get enough uninterrupted time to work toward my goals.
At the same time, I don’t want my ambitions to make me inconsiderate toward my family.
So I’m genuinely confused about where the balance is.
If you were in my situation, how would you handle it?
Should I protect a specific amount of uninterrupted work time, or should I be more flexible with my routine?I’d genuinely love to hear different perspectives.
