Sometimes I despair of ever clearing up my blasted list of things to do. Having too much to do and no energy to get it done is a sure fire way into the vicious cycle. You feel stressed from having so many things to do and feel even more stressed when nothing gets done because you're too tired thinking of the number of things that need to get done to actually get off your butt and do it. You with me so far?
So what can we do?
I found one solution. Once in a while, ignore the cardinal rule of "finish first, rest later". Simply because sometimes, you just can't finish in time to get any kind of rest. So rest first.
Now, don't do it all the time. Otherwise you'd never get anything done. But once in a while, just say, "Sod work" and make time for a breather. Take a soak in your tub, cuddle with a loved one, or just go to bed early. You'd be surprised how easy it is to carry on with the chores afterwards.
Don't believe me? Give it a try! :-)
