I’m having the “Monday is almost over and my to-do list for this short week has only gotten longer” panics. If you’re having the same kind of day, I direct you to Cindy Closkey’s blog, My Brilliant Mistakes, where she quotes a few phrases of wisdom.
I hope I can keep the dose of perspective throughout the 48 hours I have to work with — four of which I’ll be in a meeting — before I drive to Detroit Wednesday evening for a day-long meeting Thursday. This will be followed immediately by the 5-hour drive back home, so that I can make a much longer drive with family to the Catskills Friday to spend the holiday weekend in a lodge revamped in retro glory by a member of the B-52s. (More on this upon our return.)
I’m sure it’ll all be worth it. Right?
It will be worth it.
And remember: It’s pretty much guaranteed that not everything will be done in time. And you’ll still be OK.
Yes, it will be worth it — but only if you get to stay in a room with the closet doors covered in forest-trees wallpaper!
