A few weeks ago I wrote about my many, many projects on The One-Year Tightrope. Shortly after, I wrote a post about how to remedy the problem of having too much on your plate. Unfortunately, I failed to take my own advice and have found myself suffering burnout for just about every project I’ve attempted to work on since then.
Over the last couple days, I transferred my life organizational system from a simple text file to using Evernote, in order to have automatic back-ups, organized lists (as in, by project, rather than just one long list), and other features. I also made a list of all the things I have left unfinished since I started this so-called vacation. Things like abandoned websites trended toward the top while phone calls I had forgotten to make clumped at the bottom.
To be perfectly honest, I am not too shocked I underwent burnout. So I decided to dedicate today to taking an official hiatus from trying to work on anything – an official day to laze around doing nothing.
But then the fancy struck me – I need to be productive. I’ve been feeling lazy and down on myself for long enough now.
I’ve noticed the less I do, the more cranky I get, while being superproductive and efficient and getting a million things done in a day makes me feel happy.
So I ask you, dear readers: How on Earth do you stay sane?
