I have been feeling very overwhelmed lately...with all the things I need to finish/do before I go away. And, usually, when I am faced with too many choices, I don't pick any. Probably why I'm not gelling with New York any more. WAY too many choices...so I just stay home...
With all the "to dos" rolling around inside my head and tasks piling up both at work and home...I started to feel completely overwhelmed.
Then, while watching a rerun of "Amen" of all things (I love 1980s TV) I heard this phrase: "The only way to eat an elephant, is one bite at a time."
I'm finding a lot of truth in it right now. Between my day job, the new website, a new creativity course, preparing for my trip, keeping my apt from falling apart...my eyes are glazing over just writing this! (I really could use a personal assistant...anyone willing to work for food?)
I am finally realizing the only way to get anything done is to take it one bite at a time. So I made a couple lists and not only saw that the tasks weren't insurmountable...but that they were not as numerous as I had feared. Joy!
In the spirit of making my life easier, I've been doing a lot of quick food lately...and really, what could be better than a well-timed peanut butter and jelly sandwich? I actually bought the loaf of bread and peanut butter specifically to make one. This particular pb&j was made of natural peanut butter on multi grain bread with Scottish strawberry preserves...and I had some tea alongside.
Great...now I want another!
