Is it just me or does today feel like a Friday? I can’t seem to wrap my head around the fact that it is only Tuesday. There are still three more days to go until the weekend and, yet, somehow, it feels like the week should be ending now. I hate days like this. Why do I feel this way?
Could it be that I haven’t had an uninterrupted night sleep in who remembers how long? Could it be that I have tackled more projects in the last two days than many people do in an entire week? Could it be that I am in the midst of organizing too many things at once – from tonight’s dinner to my business events to our upcoming family vacation?
Or, could it be that I just want to get back to that great book I'm reading (A Pigeon and A Boy, by Meir Shalev) and pretend like my to-do list is done. I think that’s it. Right now, I'm just feeling “done”. I've given it all I have – there is no more left. And, yet, here I sit, knowing that its only 2:30 and there are a few more productive hours left in my day (not to mention 3 days in my work week) and I have a lot more still to accomplish. I have to get to work! Ugh – blech – ugh, again.
Okay – time to snap out of it. Here’s my plan: keep it all in perspective. Whenever I'm feeling blah, I remember perspective is everything. Nothing will happen if everything I had planned to do today doesn’t get done. The to-do list can wait…at least for 30 minutes. Then I'm sure it will tug on my shirt and I will swing into full gear again. But, it’s always wise to get some perspective. Stepping out and away from “it” for a little while (to read, take a walk, browse the internet) is a good thing…as long as I remember that I need to step back in. I mustn’t forget that after the long-anticipated weekend, Monday always comes.
