Overwhelmed by some things

Here is a copy of an email I sent to a friend as I am wrestling with what to do with my life:

I guess I feel extremely overwhelmed trying to learn about investing. Nowhere does the 'information age' seem to be more fitting. I know that I am smart enough to do it, but I feel like the sheer quantity of what I want to learn is daunting at this phase of diapering, dinner and driving carpool. Most days I feel paralyzed not knowing what to study or feeling like I can't possibly 'make a dent'.

I also feel overwhelmed at the thought of building a house or taking on a big flipping project for the same reasons - I have too much to learn and it would require a lot from me outside of my duties at home. But this is where I really want to be five years from now.

The mortgages seem a better fit for me right now - wouldn't be that hard to learn and I could essentially set my hours and decide how busy I want to be. I guess what I need to do is find out if the woman who wants to bring me on is willing to take what I can give right now.

Best,
Julia

If you were the woman - would you want to bring me on considering that I can't give 100%?

You just did the family room! You can do this too.

Remember how Psyche sorted the seeds -- the ants (intuition) helped her.

One seed at a time!

Keep going!
