When your to-do list overwhelms you
I'm fastidious about to do lists. That's partly because I cannot remember all the things I have to do and partly because I live in terror of forgetting to do things I've promised. Still, it does have its downsides, like this week when it gets longer than my arm and there is simply not enough time in the week to do everything. I've learnt to see that this arises because:
(1) I take on too much
(2) I procrastinate too much
(3) I don't delegate enough
Or, to be real, a deathly combination of all three. Mrs R had some good advice this morning when I was lamenting my failures and the length of the list. "Don't forget to make time to pray" she said. Right. End of post.
