I had this nagging thought that I should spend more time on work related activities today. I just felt that there was so much stuff I need to do, that I'd never get it all done. To address these distortions, I made a brief list of what I thought I needed to accomplish. I set a goal of reducing my workload on Monday to make sure I had time to address pop-up crises/requests. This helped. When I keep everything in my head I loose track of some of the items and I start to feel overwhelmed. When I write things down, I can keep track of the important items and can visualize myself completing them. Setting the goal to reduce my workload helped too. Just completing one thing means I achieved my goal, and every accomplishment after that helps even more. I managed to keep the thoughts regarding should work more and never getting everything done in check, but they were still in my head, lurking in the background.
