Today is one of those days where I have too much to do. I’m finding I’m overcome with too many things to do.
I had a couple of great meetings with my teams this week on two of the different projects I’m working on.
My wife and I met on Saturday night to discuss re-launching the first business….and now there is SOO much to do on those presentations that I almost feel lost.
Then we had dinner with our technical architect and his family on Monday ….after a short discussion about our project, he went home and did everything I needed in about an hour….now I have a boat load of work do on that project.
Finally, my client has progressed to creating a next phase for one of the three projects I’m working on and we’re ready to really get some work accomplished for one of the other two projects.
Frankly, I’m a little bit confused how WAVES of work can ebb and flow like they do around me. There are days when I have barely anything on my plate and then there are weeks when I have so much to do that I have a hard time thinking about what to do first! I shouldn’t even be taking the time to write this blurb, but because of some poor planning, I’m off line and isolated, so I can’t accomplish much more than getting some thoughts typed up.
I’m just curious if this is how it is for everyone? This variability of being too busy and too bored is stressful. It leads me to rush through work when I’m swamped and then take on additional little projects when I have down time.
Can anyone who is going through the same thing provide some suggestions in the comments section as to how they handle these types of challenges?
