My Conversion Story Journal

May 7, 2024

I have been feeling quite worn out, but still feeling like I could be doing more and spend more time studying, learning, and feeling like I'm not making any progress. Feeling stuck is hard. I decided to make sure I recorded more of what I do on my calendar this past month. After just what I recorded, I feel a bit better. There is no way I can do more than what I am currently doing. Sometimes a step back and gaining perspective really helps.

Key to the picture:

Green - Green is dedicated to all videos I watch through the Ark online, Zoom classes with any Rabbi (including the ones at my shul)
Purple - Purple is all of my Hebrew classes with GZ
Blue - Torah readings of the week and Jewish holidays
Red - Candle lighting times and Havdalah times (beginning and ending of Shabbat)
Black - days of the week for both secular and Jewish calendars as well as the month(s) in the secular and Jewish calendars.

What this does not include:
Work schedule (till 4 or 5 every day)
Lesson planning
Working on my other businesses
Driving to shul and back
Time with friends and family
Videos watched on YouTube
Articles and books read
Time studying
