Grinding it out
Well, I wasn’t lying about the year kicking off with a challenge. The semester is about to end and my workload grows seemingly exponentially.
I have so much to read, it feels like I’m falling further behind by the day, even though I do nothing else these days. It’s not exactly helpful that I’m poorly structured and keep losing the view of what needs doing by when. Admittedly, that part of the challenge is not new. I’ve been trying to build a structure for a while now, but never found a process that works for me. Mostly, I end up spending more time maintaining whatever system I try, than actually moving things forward. It’s frustrating. And yet, the problem needs solving; it can’t be ignored.
Which is why I find myself—once again—in the midst of another try. It hasn’t yet taken and I’m unsure whether it will, but it seems like a step in the right direction: It made me realise I have more balls to juggle than I realised. That’s an uncomfortable realisation, but it is definitely an improvement over not knowing. So, I guess I have some catching up to do—and a lot of hoping to get things done in time.
