I don't always read you so it's a bit hard to follow what you are talking about. Confused I am about the fact you talk about giving up on work and only volunteer. Since you have a wife and son I wonder if you volunteer if your wife should work to keep the family alive.
If it comes to a volunteering job I did it for years next to two others. All one has to do is being good in multitasking and giving up on one's sleep.

I do agree with you an early night is always good and important. Due a lack of sleep of the biggest part of my life (from toddler on) I still have periods where I find it hard to sleep no matter how tired I am.

I wish you a great weekend, it's good to have help (a coach) and watch results from the sideline.

Hi!

Absolutely not, I couldn't give up my job now to just do volunteer work, as you say I have a family to support.
My wife doesn't work at the moment, she takes care of Samuele and is finishing her law studies.

I am a Professional Educator and educational assistant and that's my job; I'm currently doing hours as a Swimming, Athletics and Basketball Technician in an association where I've been volunteering since I was a boy; however, we have become a sports association in all respects and the President has decided to pay us for the hours, I do other hours as a volunteer out of gratitude, following the secretarial work and participating in a whole series of activities with the kids that, for the technicians, are optional.

In the past I had to choose because I worked for AVIS (Associazione Donatori Italiani Sangue), but by statute an employee could not be a donor and managers (I could still donate blood with other associations), being very attached to the association and aiming to hold managerial positions (unpaid because voluntary) which I then reached also at a national level, I chose to find another job and keep Avis as a volunteer.

I also often have trouble falling asleep, I can only do it when I'm exhausted but I think it's also due to the period we're going through and the thoughts we have... As a boy I actually loved sleeping, eh eh!

I also wish you a fantastic weekend!

Thanks for the nice comment and for the time you dedicated to me.
A hug!

If I read you, you are very active, too active perhaps? It reminds me of me with 2 jobs and 3 volunteer jobs travelling the country. Today I wonder how I managed to do it. I guess if we want it we are loaded with energy. 😁

In a way I do regret it and although I was always busy, took my children with me (we travelled a lot as well) I wish I woild have taken it a bit more easy. They grow up fast and what strikes me most is that 2 say they have hardly a memory of their life <8 years old. I remember from the age of 2 🤔

Enjoy life, what you do and the family.
A hug for you and a great weekend
