“Your life will flash before your eyes as one long and never-ending to-do list that stretches out into eternity.”
Yep. I feel this quite frequently! One thing that has helped me recently was listening to podcast episode where she talked about home cycles - how most of our tasks run in cycles and the chaos happens when all the cycles collide. For example, you walk in the door, the dishes aren’t done, you’re unloading groceries and dinner needs made. All of those are repeated tasks, but it begins to feel totally unmanageable when the worst part of every cycle happens at once. It just was a little lightbulb moment.
“Ohhh, that’s why it goes from manageable to my hair is on fire all the sudden.”
So my small goal for this week is to not tell myself that everything is all wrong, but maybe just problem shoot a few collisions for a teensy bit less chaos.
Totally needed this visual today, as many of my cycles happened to collide this morning. I may not have handled it with as much grace as I would have liked... (sigh.) But I am pretty sure having this language helped me get back on track more quickly.
