(though, full disclosure, I am continuing to do so)

One of the major issues I’ve had in the last year is being completely disorganized. I’ve never been the best person with deadlines, but this year has been especially stressful. I was getting up in the morning, looking at the never-ending to do, and going to bed feeling like I hadn’t accomplished anything. I found out, after talking to another friend that being ‘reactive’ and trying to catch up constantly puts you in a state of mind where you don’t acknowledge what you’re achieving, because, quite honestly, you’re thinking about what’s ahead, not what you’ve done. I know that’s how I feel at least. And as heartbreaking as it is, I think that many of us have slipped a little in the last few years, and many of us are heading towards a burnout or a dissatisfaction we can — and should — avoid. So, I started working through it all, and I thought I’d share :)

Because, I’m not alone…

Since 2020, and the pandemic, and lockdowns started, we’re all feeling a little bit burned out. In short, though we’re all trying to stay afloat, we’re all engaged, there isn’t the same…
