Think about it!

There have been days before today, and I'm sure there will be many in the future, when i wake up in the morning with the feeling that there is so much work to be done today, that i may just about manage to finish all of it on time, or, god forbid, have some work spill on to tomorrow to throw tomorrows already packed schedule off balance.
There have been days where the latter has been the case(more often than not).
But what happened today, i was TOTALLY unprepared for..
Woke up in the morning with a sense of dread about the impending mountains of paperwork and impossible people who do that paperwork to be dealt with. Approached every person who could help me out hoping for the best, but prepared for the worst..
And then it happened. Each and every one of those people seemed to be at their joyous best, helping me out with not the usual scowls, but bright smiles! As i watched the mountains crumble so i could gleefully walk over them and go spend some leisure time, i realised this. I had actually spent more time worrying about whether everything would fall into place today, than i had spent in the actual act of accomplishment.
I guess, it is true then. It is not the AMOUNT OF WORK we do that bogs us down, tires us, stresses us out until we are nervous wrecks ready to collapse into a burnout..it is the THOUGHT of doing all that work that does us in.
