This week I decided to take things one day at a time, one step at a time. Since I’m alone in my section for the week, and carrying a 3-person workload, it’s clear to everyone around me that not everything can get done. It’s not fair to even think that everything can get done. So I’m not doing it all – I’m not even trying. I’m just putting one foot in front of the other and taking it moment by moment and not letting things get to me.
The outcome is: I’m working later than I should, but not as late as I usually do. I’m not bringing work home with me and I’ve actually managed to keep the house looking respectable.
All in all, I’d say my approach is working. Now all I’ve got to do is find some time to knit.
