This is probably the busiest time of year for me at work. Everything seems to hit at one time, and I feel like I am barely manage to keep my head above water. Actually, right about now, I feel about six inches under the water. I know it will all work out in the end. I know I will get it all done in time. I'm just feeling overwhelmed. And when I'm overwhelmed, I do one of two things. Procrastinate or eat. Which made it very bad timing for a Ben and Jerry's special.
This week I've felt grumpy. Irritable. Annoyed. Yeah, I am a walking picnic to be around. So I'm trying to focus myself and my goals into manageable chunks. I am going to write a lot of little "To Do" lists. I like to keep them on tiny papers so I can throw them away when I'm finished. If you start with a big long list, you have to keep that sucker for ages. A teeny post-it with three things? Bam, it's in the trash in a day. I'm also going to keep positive things in the scope of my week. It's important to have something to look forward to. Like on Tuesday, I will have a piece of chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. It would be rude not to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday without a piece of cake. I guess I'll have to get bigger post-its. I will now have to include "Go To The Gym" on each one.
