Every once in a while I get too busy to think. That is what I feel like today. I have been writing comments and working on spreadsheets since 6:30 this morning. I took a short break to sell some old sweaters to a person over Facebook around 11:00 o'clock, but other than that, it has been strictly business.
Life should be lived at a measured pace. No rushing to get here or there...no rushing to get anywhere. Even though I believe this, I find reality is something different. I work from home, so there is no rushing to get anywhere. Even so, I find I rush around on the computer to cram my head full of information. Read a transcript, a report, a news clipping. Listen to a conference call and jot some notes. All of this work isn't due until next week. Even so, I know I will build the pressure on myself until the work is done. I enjoy my job (usually), so it really doesn't bother me. In fact, I impose the deadlines on myself so that I can get a sense of accomplishment, What sort of deadlines do you set for yourself? I am sure I am not the only one to do so. Whether it is what time we choose to go to bed, or what time we eat dinner, we all dance to some sort of drum. I like to constantly work at getting something accomplished. It makes me feel good. Some people like to work at shirking responsibility. There is a lot of work in that, too. Just work of a different kind. Today, I am busy working. Tomorrow, who knows? There is always something to do if you look for it. The question is: Is it worth doing in the first place?
