Where Did the Day Go?
This week I have been doing a pretty good job of taking a break during the workday. At 11:30 - 12:30 pm I get up from my desk, put pn my sneakers and go for a walk. When I return from my break I am a little winded but fully refreshed. This week I seemed to get out of the office at a reasobale hour when I did that. However, today . . .I had no ttime for a break. It felt like the work kept adding up faster than I could weed through it. So I stayed at my desk . .ran out to grab lunch and bring back to my desk . .and I have been working ever since.
In my logical mind, I know it makes no sense to continue to do this. But in my “never quit, never give up” ideology, I can’t seem to make myself pump the brakes. I know the world will not fall apart if I stopped giving 1000% (that was not a typo), but I just can’t do it. My boyfriend is less than happy with me becaus eI spend so much time chained to my desk. . .but I try not to let that matter to me much. One of these days I guess I will have to choose. Any advice for me?
