What is your biggest challenge in your role?
I'm finding it hard to make time. I'm trying to balance family responsibilities with my work. For example, I had the landlord coming over for a six-month inspection.
So, I spent most of the day cleaning the house and mowing the yard. I also had to drive my son to an interview.
It's challenging to get that focused time to sit down and really do a deep dive into my work. That's the hardest part, with so many distractions out there.
