Weekend Wisdom:<\/strong> If catching up worked, you\u2019d be caught up by now.<\/em><\/p>\n

Doing less, not trying too hard.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you are feeling stressed or anxious because of all the things you have to do, it’s time for a check-in. Get all the things on paper (so they aren’t running around in your brain keeping you up at night). Next, in a calm-ish setting, go through the list. When you think, “I HAVE to do this” ask yourself this very important and simple question, “Do I?” Decide if the thing is on your list just because it’s been there for so long, or because you’ve always done that thing or because other people think you should do that thing. Before you try to get more organized, more productive or more of whatever else you think you are missing to get more done, challenge yourself to remove as many things as you can from your list. Don’t forget to let go of some of the good stuff too. Sometimes removing the pressure of doing more things is better than doing even the good things. I’m going through this process myself and discovering that I don’t have to do as much as I think.<\/p>\n
