Was Stressing Today
I think I finally figured out what was up. I had several things I wanted to work on that were related to, work. I addressed most of them, but not all. I have this nagging feeling that I "should" have done everything I thought of. That's that all or nothing thinking popping its head up, as well as a should statement. I can get this way on Sundays. I look at what's on my work plate, and think that I need to really clean that plate off before Monday starts. The all or nothing drives that, but so does some forecasting. I forecast the when I go to work I'll find something in my inbox that requires my immediate attention and takes up the rest of my day. Thus, I won't get anything done tomorrow. How did I fight this? One way was with my prioritization scheme, which showed me that I hit the important stuff. Another was reflecting back on what I have done, rather than what I still have to do. That helped me feel a sense of accomplishment and is what my mid-day reminder is all about. I also reflected on a couple of entries related to stress and tasks and stress and people. Feeling a bit better now. Tomorrow will be fine.
